Make Yourself

I’ve been pacing
And feeling wasted
For seven days
And came around

To the cemetery gates
That sit outside of your house

And If I make it
But couldn’t say it
We only stand
To crawl back down

And watch the cemetery gates
Became a part of you now

I’d be better off
Getting off my knees
These nights alone
Can’t keep swallowing me
Make myself
Somebody else
Make myself
Anyone else

Take my patience out back
Put it in a body bag
Laid to rest
With all the mistakes I’ve been keeping on my breath

Like a photograph
Without the exposure
I’m the only one too sick to notice
How do I bring nothing into focus

I’d be better off
Getting off my knees
These nights alone
Can’t keep swallowing me
Make myself
Somebody else
Make myself
Anyone else

I apologize
For what I’m not
The spine I haven’t got
My stomach tied in knots
The way my presence
Rots the room
It’s like my heart’s in two
To feel the distance between me and you

I’d be better off
Getting off my knees
These nights alone
Can’t keep swallowing me
Make myself
Somebody else
Make myself
Anyone else

Make myself
Somebody else
Make myself
Anyone else
