Insight

I'm not worried about the people outside
I'm not worried about walking home
I'm not worried about you
I just want to leave alone

I can't even see through my own eyes
Lids nothing but dark on the inside
Protect me from something I despise
Take a breath, take a trip on my insight

Crash against my calves til I'm soft
Sedimentation builds atop of the slough
Take a hammer to it, chisel it til it opens
Pry it apart until the light shines through it
Break it til you see god

Put a stopper in it
Keep it soft and keep it secret
Never tell her that you mean it
Cause you might start to believe

Keep it bundled, keep it hidden
Tell your daddy he's forgiven
Even though he never listens
Like he never let you leave

Cut away a coffin fit for a king
A throne made of slick wood and ready to burn
A tomb of sticks and leaves stacked up under your body
The rest of it sat in a heap and rotting
Like the hole in your gut

The foolish dreams of a child
You can't outrun it
Can't rise above what completely surrounds you
Can't you see it, you look just like him

I'm not worried about the people outside
I'm not worried about walking home
I'm not worried about you
I just want to leave alone

I can't even see through my own eyes
Lids nothing but dark on the inside
Protect me from something I despise
Take a breath, take a trip on my insight

Headache down the middle split both ways
No mess, haven't seem him out in days
Knock louder to see if he's okay
No answer, there's nothing left to say
