lyrics

Come and watch me push it all away
Undo any progress that I've made
I'm better left undone
So I lay down with the setting sun
I'm so sad to see
What a shame
What a pity

Fall right through the seams in my pillowcase
And draw the blinds, drown out the light
I won't bother waiting for the summer to save me
Don't bother, why would I bother

Why would I bother waiting for the sun
Or anyone to warm the bed I've made
It's just blankets in the shade
Trace patterns in the dark
But it's a start
It's the only way I know to slow my heart
It's the only way I know to slow my heart

Fall right through the seams in my pillowcase
And draw the blinds, drown out the light
I won't bother waiting for the summer to save me
Don't bother, why would I bother

Please don't mind me
I'm better off this way
Hide beneath the trees
Lost for words to say
When I'm gagging on my own tongue
Choking on my own lungs
I'm out of breath and scared to death
Of what's inside my head

So I'd rather be sad than feel this way
Maybe if I stay still for long enough
Lying in the rough all the weeds
Will finally take me to a place
Where I don't have to be
Scared to death of all the shit
I've left inside my head

Fall right through the seams in my pillowcase
And draw the blinds, drown out the light
I won't bother waiting for the summer to save me
Don't bother, why would I bother
