Overgrown

I carry ghosts in the corners of my eyes
Afraid to let the world see the inside
Demons with teeth, white men with knives
A police man who's not having a good time

I have screams that run through my head
Making it hard to get out of my bed
I should make good use of the time that's left
But it's so easy to stay here instead

Can I grow into you?
If I can grow into you

I'm a stranger in my hometown
That's why you won't see me around
And why I only feel relieved when I get to leave

I hold my breath when I'm in the streets
Let it out when I hit the sheets
Too many people here want to see me bleed

I just feel so overgrown
In my body, from my home
So I'll stay here in the garden
Picking flowers with Olive

I just feel so overgrown
Like the weeds we haven't pulled
It's not perfect but were trying
There's no better way of dying
