Abstraction

• promise me we'll make it through this •

We've got our problems, someday we'll lose it all
When are we gonna take the fall?
I promise we'll both be okay.
Darling, I'm only a phone call away

Slit my throat, cut my wrists
But promise me we'll make it through this
Starve my body, losing pounds
Promise me you'll still be around

You're scared of the things I do to myself
My bones are too visible and I'm in bad health
I'm shaking from the 70 degree cold
While you're hiding how you're feeling old

Your heart is having an attack
And it's making my soul feel black
Wishing i could backpedal on the verse
But I'd just make it worse

Reality slapping me in the face
That maybe we won't win this race
Time can't heal this dilemma
You're just running out of stamina

Losing my mind, missing my show
And I'm just getting really low
trying not to lose my light
so please don't lose this fight

Crying my feelings into a piece of paper
Wondering when my world will feel safer
Praying for a day that I can trust
Hoping that the gold doesn't rust

Playing songs that tame my demons
Crying calms my inner problems
Lyrics that speak into my heart
Things which with I must part

Blue eyes turn green when I cry
Promising myself it's too soon to fly
None of this will make sense in the morning
But I'm drunk off aspirin, coke, and mourning

I think I finally realized
Some things don't need to be idolized
The piano didn't lie
There really are words written in the sky

Learning how to put down my pride
Sometimes it's okay to hide
I am who I am
And I do what I can

I think it's time to take a break
I promise it's something we can make
But I'll still be here for you
There are just somethings you never knew

So let me go, but it still feels the worst
Heal me from the head first
You broke me and traumatized me
I'm forgiving because I've gotta be.

I slit my throat, I cut my wrists
You promised me we'd make it through it
Starved my body, lost some pounds
But darling you were still around

We've got our problems, but don't we all?
We should've realized we'll brave it all
I promise we'll both be okay.
Darling, I'm only a phone call away

Darling, I'm only a phone call away
