Melancholia

It took a while / for the dust to settle this time

Your words cling to my spine / thick like honey and sharp as a knife

And now that I’m sober / I feel it all the way in my bones

You pull me in closer / only to let me go

I am done bleeding

I am done grieving

I’m done believing

I’m leaving...

I wish that I could shed these thoughts of mine

Heavy as time

I wish that I could shed these thoughts of mine

Heavy as time

You spread your words on me like butter / and let them melt at the tip of your tongue

And just like that I crawl back into / the false promise of your open arms

And Melancholia, she’s waiting at the door / always keeping score

I let her take my hand / in the aftermath she’s all that I have left

I am done bleeding

I am done grieving

I’m finally breathing...

I wish that I could shed these thoughts of mine

Heavy as time

I wish that I could shed these thoughts of mine

Heavy as time

I wish that I could shed these thoughts of mine

Heavy as time

I wish that I could shed these, could these thoughts of mine
