Wishbone

(album: Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind - 2017)

The presence of your toxicity
Has damaged everything, and I tried to forgive for now
But you blew it
You took my life from me and you knew it
But I can't say I understand
When I am forced to pick up the pieces
It's in the stars, it's who I am
I hope I find something to believe in

And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be

I snapped the wishbone and made my wish
But I'm still like this
I cannot separate the part of me
That wants to destroy everything
I swear I want better
But my mind has got me locked in a fetter
I need to say
I regret not taking the chance I had
To get away
Overdose on the aching feeling that
I shouldn't stay
It's not right
After all, I could've saved
My life

And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be

And I'll try to let go
Of everything
If that's really what you want from me
But
This rope you've wrapped around my neck
It's getting a little tight, don't you think?
I can't breathe
And now you won't cut me down
I can't sleep
While your ghost is hanging around
Over me
And I wished for another life
And I hoped and I prayed for a lighter existence
I know
That you won't let me leave you alive
And I see that
The answer is still in the sky
And I swore I could be better
But you refused to let me try

And it's just a little too late for me to fix this, my minds racing
The voice is yelling and it won't let up
I tried to stop it but it's not enough
And I trust the doubt in my brain, am I insane?
I feel it closing in on me
This isn't who I wanna be
