Absent Without Leave
It's 89 degrees here and I'm freezing in my sweater
I wear my robe wherever I go but I swear I'm getting better
Scrolling through old pictures to remember old days
I need someone to hold me and tell me I'm okay
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
I have ice cream for breakfast and green paint for lunch
And it makes me feel something and my citrine teeth crunch
I tore apart my window shades a couple weeks ago
To let the sun and moon in to let the light show
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
And isn't this exactly what I need
The breezes flowing through the trees
I see them waving back at me
But I am absent without leave
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out but don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
And tomorrow I will open my chest and my shirt
I wear my robe wherever I go but I swear I'm getting better
Scrolling through old pictures to remember old days
I need someone to hold me and tell me I'm okay
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
I have ice cream for breakfast and green paint for lunch
And it makes me feel something and my citrine teeth crunch
I tore apart my window shades a couple weeks ago
To let the sun and moon in to let the light show
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
And isn't this exactly what I need
The breezes flowing through the trees
I see them waving back at me
But I am absent without leave
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out but don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
But I'm too scared to open my chest or my shirt
I've trapped something living inside my ribcage
I wanna let it out don't wanna get hurt
I can still hear it beating and it swells as I age
And tomorrow I will open my chest and my shirt
