Love Life

(album: What Was, Not Now - 2021)

I've got scars on my wrist from where I used to cut
I didn't wanna live but I still wanted love
Oh, she kept me around for a little while longer
Just a man in his head too afraid to commit
But a little drop of blood helped him not to forget
That he might wanna stay for a little while longer

And all these streams down your cheeks

I can see that your insides dying
Less time smiling, more time crying
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shaking
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try, to try to love life
Again

Oh, the fuel that keeps me driving are my flesh and my bones
But now those are growing scarce since I used up my soul
Can you hold on just for a little while longer?
I ran around with strangers and I tried to be fun
But, even when surrounded I still feel numb
All the time

I can see that your insides dying
Less time smiling, more time crying
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shaking
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try
To try to love life

Oh, I just need someone to
Hear me when I call though I am
Screaming next to, you don't hear me
At all, are you listening at all?
Are you listening at all?

I can see that your insides dying
Less time smiling, more time crying
I know you want this to be over
I can see that your heartbeat's shaking
I know it's hard if I'm not mistaken
I know you wanna try, to try to love life
