Stories We Tell Ourselves

from Reflections of Ghosts by Cut Your Losses

/

lyrics

The sun can’t make up its mind.
It’s shining in intervals in through my blinds.
Just like I can’t seem to find a sense of consistency in my own life.

So l’ll cover my eyes again,
And wait for the sun to set.
When I finally open them,
I’m really hoping that I’ll forget.

You can’t change the things that you lack,
Another long winter that’s barren and black.
You’re not sure if you can with withstand,
Time slips through your fingers like crystals of sand.
So you’ll cover your eyes again.
Swear that you’ll never get out of bed.
You’re supposed to feel better but when you wake up you feel worse instead.

But everyone tells you it’s all in your head.
As if you don’t already know that.
If you manifest happiness, you can do whatever you set your mind to.
But my mind’s too heavy with the emptiness of knowing I will never be enough.

I’ve been feeling like my heart is on the floor.
The way the world is walking all over it.
And I scream but no one seems to hear me at all.
So I crawl.
Right out of my shell, I’m done with this hell I’ve been living in,
I won’t let it get the best of me.
And I’m a wreck but you can have whatever’s left of me and make it your own.

I’ll be your home if you’re mine.

And I know that sometimes you might feel like I don’t even try, but I swear I’m fine.
