Tell me slowly how it goes
I'm struggling to keep up
I know the roots have taken hold
See them wrapped around your wrist love
It grows beneath the surface
A scratch can show the dirt
The leaves blow with your breathing
I see how much it hurts
So tell me slowly how it goes
I'm struggling to keep up
But I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love
This drowning feels like self control
Give in to the undertow
Feel the current wearing fissures in your skin
A cage that grows inside your chest
Oh god please give me some rest
I hope you know you've come so far from where you've been
It's too late to take back
You're sorry I know that
Ignorance is heavy
I'm too much to carry
So tell me slowly how it goes
I'm struggling to keep up
But I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love
Wearing down to your bones
Numb to touch bruise to hold
Turn to dust
And through my fingertips fall
A pain so natural
It grows in your blood
Permanent presupposed
I will hold on if you need to let go
You can collapse
Just let the ache flow
Crushed by the weight
Of letting the pain grow
I'm sorry again
Out of words that I know
But I'll keep speaking as long as you need
And I'll pull out my teeth so I hurt like you love
Wearing down to your bones
Numb to touch bruise to hold
Turn to dust
And through my fingertips fall
A pain so natural
It grows in your blood
Permanent presupposed
I will hold on if you need to let go
Numb to touch bruise to hold
Turn to dust
And through my fingertips fall
Permanent presupposed
I will hold on if you need to let go
