lyrics

Hold my breath when he walks by
Trying not to catch his eye
Wait until he’s out the door
To scrape my ego off the floor

I don’t owe him anything
But I still sit there listening
Hearing things that make me sick
Looking for an escape quick
Cloistered in that sweaty wing
I know I should say something
That’s so easy just to say
Maybe it’ll go away

Whispers follow me like fog
Fill my ears and make me cough
Scared to see the wrath incurred
By his hated two-letter word

Feel so greasy everyday
Wish my skin would crawl away
Every night dread waking up
Remember and then throw up
Block the light and close my eyes
For a second its alright
If I wait another day
Maybe he’ll just go away

I’m not the only one
No, and he’s not the only one

Still feel his talons on my chest
No one can see the scars he left
I keep it locked behind my lips
Scared to let out what I let in
