I've Lost That Lovely Ceiling

It's like lying in my coffin
With nails between my fingertips
So before I even rest
I can start hammering them in

Because I'm not able to start resting
Until I unclench my fists
It makes me wonder why we dig
These shallow graves where we exist
It makes me think about the epitaph
Of everything I wish I did

I wish I asked you what you felt
The last time we talked about
What it was like to live
Without the will to live at all
Without the will to live at all
Without the will to live at all

I feel like I'm standing still in sand
Watching wave after wave of you bury my hands
Lost in the sights
We have shared these sunsets and these nights
Dotted lines on the road are the constellations we call home
Why can't I ever be the person I want to become

I have lost that lovely ceiling
I have built on top our love
Now that you've withdrawn your support
I know I'm not enough
I know I'm not enough
I know

Alone in the basement with my doubt
I am still locked out
Until I wear them in my skin
Until every phrase is branded in
Until I can't remember how I felt

She said despite my sweet heart
I have these bitter bones
And even with my love she would rather be alone

That I was warm to hold
But cold to the touch
And despite my love
I could never be enough
I could never be enough
I could never be enough

I've lost that lovely ceiling I built up
I cannot reconstruct
The memories everything is corrupt
I've lost that lovely ceiling I built up
Alone in the basement with my thoughts
After you said
I could never be enough
I could never be enough
