Will I ever stop feeling like I’m
Ruining your life?
I strive to provide smooth glide
But I’m bona fide sly
When I realise that I
Am making things difficult again
And the slime of my crimes
Engulfs all that I’ve dried
From the saturation
That comes after the downpours
Of my cries
I lie when you pry
Say I’m alright
But inside I’m going crazy
Still I don’t let it hazy my pride
I feel like I’m being fried
Tied to truck wheels and pulled
Through both concrete and tsunami tide
I survive only by one scratch
One millimetre before the ultimate collide
I skive every invite
To try prize the truth from my eyes
My brutal disguise warm and kind
So familiar it’s like
My own skin don’t recognise
The pore of itself
Until I’m so terrified
Of ruining you
That I can’t avoid thinking
It would all be easier for everyone
If I just weren’t alive
Don’t shake your head at that
Don’t go all whale wide
Cos I know those vile moods
Make you cross your mind
With some things that ain’t so nice
I wish you’d just fly off the handle
And hit me so hard it feels like a kiss
I wish you’d just let me ruin
All this.
