Laugh / Cry

(album: Keep Me Safe - 2020)

Keep me
Oh, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

She walks up to the mountain, looks up towards the clouds
Can't see the pinnacle but can hear the monsters growl
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
At least that's what I like to think when I start to freak

Shaking on the sofa, bleeding from the soda
Dreaming lacrimosa demons of the soul
Start to peel back the layers, break where it tapers
Palm feels these craters of these thieves and traitors

I like to say I'm tired but I really mean I'm weak
Eyes closed lying motionless but the voices they never sleep
I've learned to live without them but the pills ran dry
They come back with a vengeance, will I escape this time?

Shaking on the sofa, bleeding from the soda
Dreaming lacrimosa demons of the soul
Start to peel back the layers
Break where it tapers
Palm feels the craters of these thieves and traitors

I don't even know if I'mma laugh or cry
I've been stuck dissociating every night
I've been fucking sick of every song I write
I've been on the verge of tears like all the time

So keep me
Oh, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

Just let it rain, give me another reason to complain
These clouds never cease to find me
But that's okay because the sunlight's blinding
So what do you think of this song?
Nice weather we're having
As long as you like downpours
You say you see the werewolf in my eyes
And it's a full moon tonight
Well I haven't changed in some time
I've got a brand new perspective

And I find granules in my trainers
Stuck between my toes
I keep starting fires and I keep punching walls (Be happy now, be happy now)
But I love my friends, they make me feel alive again

Keep me
Oh, keep me safe
Stuck within this maze encompassing my brain

Keep me
Oh, keep me safe
