i know i said i would
and i wanted to
but it's become so much bigger than me
i took a step closer
and i felt it
i let the door close over
i stayed home
i know i said i would
and i wanted to
but i've been disappearing
i don't need to be part of anything
and i've tried:
taking vitamin d
sitting by a bright light
and googling SAD
but this winter is:
cold
and dark
and overcast
and miserable
and gloomy
and right now those are all the words i'd use
to describe me
i know i said i would
and i wanted to
but it's become so much bigger than me
i took a step closer
and i felt it
i let the door close over
i stayed home

coming back

sometimes i think about going, and not coming back
late in the night, unknown, i'm not coming back
tired and i can't move on, i keep coming back
give myself into the way i want nothing back
tell myself: nothing ever lasts forever.
now that it's over i'm scared that it's coming back
now that it's over i'm scared that i'm coming back
now that it's over i'm scared that it won't come back
now that i'm here and i'm scared, i am coming back
on and on and on and on
all I have to do is keep waiting
tell myself: nothing ever lasts forever
tell myself: i'm coming back

settle down

by turning my back and walking away
i took steps to make my problems fade
but i captured the moments inside of me
and i relive them constantly
cameras were there in place of photographs
they remind me to watch myself
hung up on display in the deep red dark
i can feel it developing
i know i can be more than this
i know i can, but
the sunlight can't get through
in this house, it is dark again
i forget how to move
i forget to want anything
at sunset i tried to revive myself
in the forest, on hands and knees
the lesson was how to get through the night
try to live with these embers only
i know i can be more than this
i know i can, but
the sunlight can't get through
in this house, it is dark again
i forget how to move
i forget to want anything
i know i can be more than this
i know i can
oh my god, stay calm
i feel the warmth of my family
curl up, settle down
i'll look after this fire in me
