Morning Light

(album: The Weight And The Cost - 2020)

I'll fuck it up, I'll swing and miss
I'll look alive and struggle to see it
'Cause I ruin relationships
So don't cast your lot with a sinking ship

Is there a trick for dealing with this fucking emptiness?
I've got to know, I feel so alone, and every time I get it wrong
I've replayed the scene with a compulsivity that keeps me from sleeping
I'm reaching my bottom now

Morning light, make it right
Because I am desperate to feel

I'm fractured, I'm haunted
I've got skeletons in the closet
I'm drowning here in my regret
And the blurring lines between my heart and head

Is there a trick for dealing with this fucking emptiness?
I've got to know, I feel so alone, and every time I get it wrong
I've replayed the scene with a compulsivity that keeps me from sleeping
I'm reaching my bottom now

Morning light, make it right
Because I am desperate to feel alive

Here I wait, silently
At the bend right before the break

You're not wrong, I'm not strong, I never was
But I wore the mask so you could see what you wanted to
I don't think you get that in my head
I am so fucking sad

So morning light, please make it right
Because I am desperate to feel alive
