Keep Me In My Body

(album: Desolate Divine - 2016)

Turn me upside down like an hourglass
Time is running out and too much time has passed
Slipping through the fingers of calloused idle hands
Grasping for a breath while choking on the sand

Maybe I'm too scared to stand in my own skin
Maybe I've become transparent

If I only have one life left to leave
Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body
This is the lie that I believe
Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself

You're suffocating me with positivity
But either way, it's still fucking suffocating
I refuse to be what you want from me
I can't be perfect, but tell me what the fuck is perfect anyways?

If I only have one life left to leave
Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body
This is the lie that I believe
Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself

I do this to myself
I do this to myself

It's okay to not be okay
It's okay to feel this way

It's okay to feel this way
It's okay to feel this way

I'd rather live than die this way
I'd rather give than take away

If I only have one life left to leave
Get me out of my own head, but keep me in my body
This is the lie that I believe
Always blaming someone else, but I do this to myself

It's okay to feel this way
It's okay to feel this way
It's okay to feel this way
It's okay to feel this way
