If I could find a way to crawl back to the day
That the earth pushed our feet together by its tectonic plates
I'd bury myself in the dirt, and hide until my chest would hurt
So I'd never have to see you fall victim to the wrong words

You're eroded from torment, believe me I get that
But you didn't have to go so far as to sell the spine from your back
I was patiently waiting for someone to save me
just to find I had the strength despite the cards that they gave me

Bound by a contract, to disguise how much you lack
The emotional strength to lift weight off of my back
You coaxed me to think that I needed you so bad
We fell apart slowly when I gave all that I had
If I had a dollar, for everyone that bothered
I'd pay to go back, to the moment we faltered
And  leave like a ghost still standing at the alter
Or search for the cancer and abandon like father

You sank your teeth into my dreams hoping you could finally breathe
Suffer on your own, so I don't have to know
If my tank was on empty how far did you expect to go?

Peel the acrylic from the canvas in my brain just to manage
The panic and pain where your face used to fill it
Seal the casket and kill it with fire and let it
Die down, so the ashes are copacetic

Bound by a contract, to disguise how much you lack
The emotional strength to lift weight off of my back
You coaxed me to think that I needed you so bad
We fell apart slowly when I gave all that I had
If I had a dollar, for everyone that bothered
I'd pay to go back, to the moment we faltered
And  leave like a ghost still standing at the alter
Or search for the cancer and abandon like father

A river winding down the veins between the bones and nerves
Interrupted from its flowing by the weight of the whole world
To be redirected into the drivers side of my old car
The blood would fill the air instead of beating through my heart

You make me sick, oh lonely victim
I hope you quit, while the world still spins

Overdose till comatose you're starving while the trees still grow
Make the most of holy ghosts, and keep treading just to stay afloat
The salt inside the earth and in the particles of oceans show
That you're never really drowning if you can breathe enough to let them know
