Commitment

(album: Distant Like You Asked - 2016)

Start me off by calming me down
My blood leaves my body
You can hear it hit the ground

Pardon my bed ridden sound
Over sleeping, barely eating
I never thought that human contact would create this wasteland

Tie my bones with string, my strength is weakening
One day I will break from these makeshift chains

Fucking useless, and mostly tasteless
See my eyes roll back enough
Broken footsteps, my body's a doormat
There is no welcome here at all

When you decide that you're ready to start again, forget it
Why would I waste my time on this

Tie my bones with string, my strength is weakening
One day I will break from these makeshift chains
Create a description you barely listen
But you've heard me right this time
Forget our place, forget my name
Forget those ordinary things

Poison, but covered
In a blanket of excuses
Come over, hear me out for once
No wait forget it, I'm fucking done

Tie my bones with string, my strength is weakening
One day I will break from these makeshift chains

When you decide that you're ready to start again, forget it
Why would I waste my time on this

Create a description you barely listen
But you've heard me right this time
Forget our place, forget my name
Forget those things
