​grendel

[Verse]
Spent most of my childhood alone
Chasing my tail and walking on a tightrope
Out in the fields
Catching grasshoppers with my hands
I didn't know anyone
I guess I didn't smile enough
And I didn't have friends
Cause everyone was scared of me

[Chorus]
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
The axe in my back left me black and blue
To this day

[Verse 2]
Looking in through the window
Light shines out onto the snow
And I hate how you talk
And I hate how you bite back

[Chrous 2]
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
Thought I was a monster, I grew up a soldier
I'll never be a man like you
You used to say

[Verse 3]
I'd watch you watch me with those hollow eyes
Every night
I'd reach for you through darkness every time
I was blind

[Bridge]
You're my lighthouse
You're my island
With the lights off
Made of silence
I'm tryna find you still

[Chorus]
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
The axe in my back left me black and blue
To this day
