The blood orange sun melts into the sky
The ash and wind smears my life
And makes me want to cry
Everything is running together
And I can’t tell the difference between you and me
And I can’t compartmentalize
Because I feel you in every scene
Since when has my life become like a movie
Crude and blasted on a tv screen
I felt the loneliness hit long ago
Before the restlessness,
before the summer and before the snow
my head, it hurts
my heart, it barely beats
and when giving up is what I want most
I fight harder to breathe
Hopelessly, helplessly
I feel it all drain away from me
The love and laughter, the sadness and tears
I’m numb now,
And the pain is what keeps me here
Because the cutter bleeds to know he’s human after all
To know that he can feel
To know he’s still alive
And she drinks to drown and fade
Because the bottle is the only ocean
She thinks will wash away her pain
And he does line after line
As he says line after line
But the lies don’t even make sense anymore
And she sleeps with him and her,
She sleeps with everyone,
But not the one she truly has feelings for
I know you,
Because I know myself
I am standing where you’re standing
And this movie, I’ve seen it before.
