COLLATERAL (feat. Wedding Singer) [Demo]

I tried to fall in love Took aim and braced for hurt I didn't hear it coming Til the sound left my throat I saw the numbers on the wall I counted up just as before Until you didn't hear Me anymore Now half awake you start to feel it It's the ache they say stems from me I did my best to prune my branches But the ends still make you bleed I tried to build an empire As was foretold But no amount of mortar Could pay back what I owe Now half awake I start to feel it It's the ache they say stems from me I'm learning how to stand on my own But my roots are shallow and rotten Three ghosts upon the shore Blessings I had cursed I told them go to hell They just replied "you first" Half awake I start to feel it It's the ache they say stems from me And I finally start to believe them Now that I am far enough away
