lyrics

i try to stay alive
but it's your name
that keeps me up late at night
so i isolate myself
from all the ones that i have loved
and i will never make amends
to all the ones that i have fucked
and i am not growing up
i am not getting older
but winter is coming
so you will grow cold
but you were so kind
please rip out my spine
you don't use yours
i don't need mine
pick me up
take me home
anything so i don't feel alone
open my mouth
hear me out
i need your help more than you can tell
please come and save me
i feel like i'm dying
this self-conscious effort
of not even trying
