Shelters

I’m holding onto these fallow lines, they’re cold against my skin I’m scrounging a worthless solace These times are always spent in praying for my grace again Each day is a gamble when your life is in shambles, it all ends the same These hands won’t open, conditioned to only pain The currents, they lied to me It never mattered, they never cared Take the resin, purge this from me I’m tired of fighting, I just want to leave Nowhere to run to, can’t feel a thing, I can’t save our lives anyway. Another hotel bathroom, another strand of ripped out hair I threw away the razor, trying to repair Can’t count the mistakes left in my wake, a hopeless failure and I just can’t stand it Undeserving of roots firmly planted I’ve seen a life beyond these walls Away from the shadows flickering and the ghosts roaming down the halls The rain on the windscreen is all that is with me as I drive away I pray to god I’m gone When I hit empty But there’s nowhere to go It always falls apart I’m trying to find my way home Take the resin, purge this from me Why was I born to wear these chains? Nowhere to run to, can’t feel a thing I’m hemorrhaging
