there's no warmth left in my skin
but i don't mind it
it makes me feel alive
but it makes him want to leave
i'll never learn to love my imperfections
but i guess i don't deserve to
they make me human
but that's not what he wants me to be
afraid to leave but afraid to stay
between intimacy and guilt
replace my blood with mercury
and dance with me until i dissolve
afraid to feel but afraid to let go
of self-contempt and judging eyes
fill my blood with silver and gold
and dance with me until i lose my worth
is this really worth it?
let me waste away
without his thoughts
in the back of my head
am i really worth this?
the love we used to know is gone
but i've said enough
i swear there's nothing wrong with us
we're all equal under this starfilled sky
if you can't stand it, cremate me
and spread me by the skyline's light
love me
like you used to
before
you stopped caring
keep it
to yourself
while i try
to forget about it
damage me // can't face the ether alone
wound me // can't face the ether alone
wither with me // can't face the ether alone
my worth is lost
was it really worth this?
the love we used to know is gone
i can't face the ether alone.
