I carry ghosts in the corners of my eyes
Afraid to let the world see the inside
Demons with teeth, white men with knives
A police man who's not having a good time
I have screams that run through my head
Making it hard to get out of my bed
I should make good use of the time that's left
But it's so easy to stay here instead
Can I grow into you?
If I can grow into you
I'm a stranger in my hometown
That's why you won't see me around
And why I only feel relieved when I get to leave
I hold my breath when I'm in the streets
Let it out when I hit the sheets
Too many people here want to see me bleed
I just feel so overgrown
In my body, from my home
So I'll stay here in the garden
Picking flowers with Olive
I just feel so overgrown
Like the weeds we haven't pulled
It's not perfect but were trying
There's no better way of dying

I could tell you that I'm fine
But know that that's a lie
I could tell you that I'm dying
But that feels a bit dramaticized
I could tell you that I'm hunted for sport by the government
And you'd have to believe there's truth in it
But if you still want to know
...I feel alright
I could tell you that I'm sick
Of making up 1% of the population
And 30% of the Fox News Station coverage
The drag queens aren't here to haunt your dreams
I'll bring the knife if you bring the gunfight
Leave us alone and go live your own life
I cant believe that this is all you've got
I'll bring the knife if you bring the gunfight
Leave us alone and go live your own life
I cant believe that this is all you've got

I know it's sad for me to still be here
Hoping that my words could still endear
But if you left it up to me
And my proclivities
We would still be singing off key to the songs inside your head
But If it helps you sleep at night, my dear
Then I hope I haven't crossed your mind in years
When the sun comes up again
I'll be spiraling in bed
Over nuances of words you've only said inside my head
know this wasn't meant to be
But for tonight can I just dream
That you were swimming oceans in your sleep
To tread blue skies in secrecy
I'm too damn old to be writing about summers
And cliches like "I wish we had another"
I'm too damn old to be writing about you
And all the hell we should have put each other through
