If I could face them,
If I could make amends
With all my shadows,
I'd bow my head
And welcome them.
But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind
Stops my breathing.
Are you really going to love me
When I'm gone?
I fear you won't,
I fear you don't.
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you'll see
Is my ghost,
Empty vessel, crooked teeth,
Wish you could see.
And they call me under,
And I'm shaking like a leaf,
And they call me under,
And I wither underneath
In this storm.
I am a stranger,
I am an alien,
Inside a structure.
Are you really going to love me
When I'm gone
With all my thoughts
And all my faults?
I feel it biting,
I feel it break my skin,
So uninviting.
Are you really going to need me
When I'm gone?
I fear you won't,
I fear you don't.
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you'll see
Is my ghost,
Empty vessel, crooked teeth,
Wish you could see.
And they call me under,
And I'm shaking like a leaf,
And they call me under,
And I wither underneath
In this storm.
I feel it,
And they call me under,
And I'm shaking like a leaf,
And they call me underneath
To this storm.
