sealing shut

(album: the chronicles of cpt. sad - 2017)

Set me free
Let the animals inside run loose
Leave me be
To self destruct at my own pace
Can you hear the sirens chasing after me?
Can't you see the warning signs?
They're getting louder and more obvious
Talk is cheap
And the well gets drier as we speak
I guess we sowed what we would reap
My heart is yours but not to keep
I haven't slept in days, but it's felt like weeks
Soon you'll discover I'm not the one you seek
Still too weak, never recovered
I just don't leak, I'm sealing shut

Behind closed doors in empty apartments
On bedroom floors with blood stained carpets
I don't mean to harp on every detail
But the little things, they just mean so much to me
Her eyes couldn't tell the lies that I believe
Brace yourself
A cry for help
I'm chasing out
All my demons with pitchforks and knives

Brace yourself
A cry for help
I'm chasing out
All my demons with pitchforks and knives
