027 - a headache that never leaves

themes: heartbreak, memories, moving on

i'm drunk off the words you left

every syllable hanging on

the pain subsides for a little while

but the hangover drips with regret

you're the headache i can't sleep off

there's no medicine to make me forget

your touch pulses against my brows

already committed to my memory

pierce a hole to purge your presence

but the pain you left still lingers on

i can't drink away the thought of you

i just have to learn to live without you
