lyrics

I break twigs with my hands
My frustrations have built up to a gentle boil
I remain calm
Burying my fingers in the soil

You complain about being lonely
But denounce my age
You then find your one and only
And I'm still trapped in my cage

I climb down the bunk bed at 3 a.m.
Making my way through the dark
My eyes glistening like gems
But I miss the mark
I sigh
I miss the mark
I miss the mark

I became a terror as empty as the sea
There are many who are quite fairer
Please don't waste your heartbeats on me

Splinters burn my palms
Moonlight burns my skin
I shut my eyes and tiny bombs go off within

And this fog in my mind
It clouds the love between you and I
