Shimmer

about

Artificial lady shimmer of no maximum strength.

lyrics

I don’t know what I said
It went something like this
A burning itch down in my feet it shot up to my chest
I felt it fill my lungs
Made it's way out to my tongue
And by the time it left my mouth my gums were housing liquid bone

I know I’ve got a home, I know I’m not alone,
It’s just that I don’t know where it is or if I can go.
I tried to do the math; tried to calculate the path.
But the equation for a home is rotten wood and broken glass.

Please just stay tonight. Yes, I know we’ll fight,
It’s just that if you go then I know I won’t be alright.
But if you leave instead, then I’ll lie here in bed
and sleep until I dream of being dead.

Something important
Happens to you every day,
But you can’t see it.
You’re blind
And you’re shrouded.
Nothing is perfect,
But you surround yourself with failures
Intentionally

Concentrating;
Contemplating.
Overwhelming.
I can’t stand myself.
My ears bleed
When you’re near me.
I can’t hear you;
Can’t hear myself think.
I can’t feel you under my skin
I just feel
Your sediments
Slowly trickle in.

I won’t go outside,
I won’t go outside
Since you stole from me.
Since you stole my will,
Since you stole my will
I have nothing left.
I now have nothing,
I now have nothing left
For you to take from me.
I now have nothing left.
I won’t go outside.
I won’t go out.
