Storage Room

Your hands are cracked
They scab, they bleed
A product of your obsession
A need to be clean
But I was always the mess you couldn't get to leave
You set your traps
And you capture me
You fill my head with poetry
Every word you strung together became the chains around my feet that kept me
Cause your pulse gets higher
And your steps get lighter
Setting fire to all the exits
So make sure
That I'm right where you want me
And then you put me away
And you laughed while I begged you to stay
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
And then you put me away
And you smiled while I faded to gray
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
I was a flight risk
You couldn't take the chance
You needed proof that this would work in advance
Found you some new friends
And a good excuse
You said, "sink or swim with cast iron shoes."
Cause your pulse gets higher
And your steps get lighter
Setting fire to all the exits
So make sure
That I'm right where you want me
And then you put me away
And you laughed while I begged you to stay
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
And then you put me away
And you smiled while I faded to gray
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
So treat me like the void you've grown to live with
And leave me like the boys you didn't mean to sleep with
Cause god forbid you breathe deep
And get too comfortable and start to fall asleep
When you wake up in a stranger's bed
And you have no idea where your heads been at
I hope you think of me lying in your street
Screaming secrets for the stars to keep
So treat me like the void you've grown to live with
And leave me like the boys you didn't mean to sleep with
Cause god forbid you breathe deep
God forbid you breathe deep
And you forget to breathe
Cause your pulse gets higher
And your steps get lighter
Setting fire to all the exits
And then you put me away
And you laughed while I begged you to stay
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
And then you put me away
And you smiled while I faded to gray
Boxed up in your six foot storage room
