How I Live

(album: Melancholia - 2023)

Gone when you talk
Left in the dust
Stomach in knots
It's raining blood
Like when you talk
Say what you've done
Everything is flawed
It's breaking up
I'm left here
Nothing said was done
Feel death near
Pulling out my gun
I feel odd
Swept under the rug
Your death knot
Bind it with your tongue

Ay
I feel sick yeah
Call it quits
In my head yeah
Dig my ditch
Something's stranger
Than what is
Lovely danger
How I live

Never know what you've got 'til it's gone
And when you've got it in your hands
Better hold on
Now I'm looking at your things on my lawn
Thought it was love
Guess I had it all wrong

Grab another drink
Throw the empty in the sink
I keep my phone on D.N.D.
'Cause I don't want to hear it ring

Sitting round the house
Staring at the ground
Wonder how deep down
Do I got to go to escape the sound
Doesn't matter how deep I go
Lately I just don't want to be around

Can't escape the voice in my skull
That's the way it is, ain't no way around
Telling me I don't own my soul
Tell my mama that I love her
Hope I made you proud
I got things that I can't let go
We all got things under the surface
That we're holding down
