The melatonin fails again, and melancholy settles in
My mouth neglects the shape of words that I know you adored
And every night it hurts a little more
And I can't seem to satiate
The sadness that still resonates
Every bone in me will break
Beneath the weight of guilt that I can't place
If my happiness isn't permanent, then I am no more than a surrogate father
Lead to the alter to marry the mother despite all of my reservations
If the joy that I feel is so juvenile, how do I reconcile all the aggression that I seem to harbour?
The selfish depression that makes it so hard to feel loved?
Promise me you'll stay a while, I know I ask you all the time
Must be getting hard to pretend
And safe in the warmth of the sun I let myself undress
Revealing wounds that time neglects
Hesitant, I acquiesce to the softest embrace of your bed
Where shamefully I supplicate
For anything that seems to soothe my aches
Watch me as I dissipate
Dissolve into a solvent fear of change
Despondency bleeds into everything
Removing my hands from the wheel of the vehicle
I couldn't care at all
Sing me to sleep with my mellifluous misery
Drunk and delusional, numb at the funeral
Love was once sacrosanct, but now it resembles the sound of a language that I am scared to speak
Once again, my caution bends to soft amnesia as I forget that I've been here before The melatonin fails again, and melancholy settles in My mouth neglects the shape of words that I know you adored And every night it hurts a little more And I can't seem to satiate The sadness that still resonates Every bone in me will break Beneath the weight of guilt that I can't place If my happiness isn't permanent, then I am no more than a surrogate father Lead to the alter to marry the mother despite all of my reservations If the joy that I feel is so juvenile, how do I reconcile all the aggression that I seem to harbour? The selfish depression that makes it so hard to feel loved? Promise me you'll stay a while, I know I ask you all the time Must be getting hard to pretend And safe in the warmth of the sun I let myself undress Revealing wounds that time neglects Hesitant, I acquiesce to the softest embrace of your bed Where shamefully I supplicate For anything that seems to soothe my aches Watch me as I dissipate Dissolve into a solvent fear of change Despondency bleeds into everything Removing my hands from the wheel of the vehicle I couldn't care at all Sing me to sleep with my mellifluous misery Drunk and delusional, numb at the funeral Love was once sacrosanct, but now it resembles the sound of a language that I am scared to speak Explain Request ×
