But You Refuse

all i ever wanted

was to be enough

but i know I'll never be

and knowing the truth is rough


drown me in the river

drown me in the lake

i really hate the air I breathe

and this world is fucking fake


hang me on the ceiling

hang me on the clothing line

please just hang out my heart

so I can let it air out and dry


but you want me to live

and you want me to breathe

you say you actually give a shit

but that's something I struggle to believe.
