Lyrics

The old familiar weight in the chest The knees creak and the bones compress Locked myself in my room again Buried in a coffin bed to mend With a mind set on self-mutiny There's no pity or pill for remedy The moods swing like a pendulum A moment's peak pulled back to plunge Don't lie and tell me I'll be fine Another sleepless night Sun cuts through the curtain like a knife The clamor in the lobes never quits The valley fog in me never lifts Don't lie and tell me I'll be fine These days are the pages I don't want to read Just turn me to the good parts that will never be A cruel author's character, penned for tragedy Just turn me to the good parts that will never be On day three I was forced from quarantine By a friend trying to boost my self-esteem Coffee and smokes at River Park With her hand on mine she said "don't you fall apart" Just lie and tell me I'll be fine These days are the pages I don't want to read Just turn me to the good parts that will never be A cruel author's character, penned for tragedy Just turn me to the good parts that will never be
