Keep Me Under

A bitter mind won’t keep my lungs full

A bitter mind won’t keep my limbs

keep my limbs whole

Nevermind reaping what I’ve sown

A bitter mind won’t make my days

make my days slow down

My days slow down

I watch them burn in my hand

I love the heat enough to not let go

I’ll hold too long

Until it burns in my hand

The weight of all my vices, laid out one by one

to keep me under

Wait

I tried to hide my past away

I put my demons in their place

But wound up being my own prey

Forever lying wide awake

Burn in my hand

I love the heat enough to not let go

I’ll hold too long

Until it burns in my hand

The weight of all my vices, laid out one by one

to keep me under

A bitter mind won’t keep my lungs full

A bitter mind won’t keep my limbs

keep my limbs whole

Nevermind reaping what I’ve sown

A bitter mind won’t make my days

make my days slow down
