Misread

Words that I misread, asleep in your bed
I've faced the fact that nothing good lasts here
In this place that I am in my head
I wish that I could find the strength to speak with the conviction that I preach
Vessel of vanity
Trapped in the ebb and flow, tides shift and that's where I'll go
Don't give your hand to me
'Cause I know you'll go away
And I couldn't make you stay

You're exactly what I wanted
But exactly what I fear
And I've been giving enough that it echoes
So I still hear what I wanna hear
I told myself I would not end up where I was this time last year
So I'll sing to myself again

Too tempted by the fodder of the day-to-day
It's why my heart is so easily swayed
It's why I'm trapped all alone down here
But you know I like the atmosphere

I've weighed it out and I weighed it down
So I could make a whole collage of displays of self-sabotage
But I still refuse the upper hand in spite of

My stagnation, tearing ankles to the bone
Do I lose myself in my own head or lose the ones I know
I told myself I would not end up where I was this time last year
So I'll sing to myself again

I've weighed it out and I weighed it down
I've weighed it out and you weigh me down
