Avoiding Every Sound

I'm cozy in my bed of nails

I made so well, I made myself

I dream of smoke and wrecking ships

I know we will get through all this

It's just a point on the ribbon

Let it blow across your skin

One day we'll wake in separate beds

All of these words will have been said

I've been looking all around, avoiding every sound

Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses

Then I won't have to say words that will inflict that pain

I didn't think this far ahead

I didn't think about myself

I said that it would be okay

Over and over again

And now my mouth is full of blood

From all the times I bit my tongue

I stayed way past the final hour

And now it all tastes sharp and sour

I've been looking all around, avoiding every sound

Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses

Then I won't have to say words that will inflict that pain

I've been looking all around, avoiding every sound

Dodging every room, running through the halls

I broke some promises, I need to make this quick

Yes it is sinking in

No it hasn't hit you yet

Maybe it was the wrong way

But there's no point in thinking that

Home never felt so wrong

I was avoiding this all along

Maybe it was the right way

There's no way of knowing that

I've been looking all around, avoiding every sound

Maybe if I pretend I lost my senses

Then I won’t have to say words that will inflict that pain

I've been looking all around, avoiding every sound

Dodging every room, running through the halls

I broke some promises, I need to make this quick
