Wish Sticks Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2020

[Verse 1]
I cut back one drug and excess on another
And it's always by myself
But when my friends are here to distract me from me
It usually seems to help
[Hook 1]
But I guess that's just as well
That I'm here all by myself
And nothing seems to help
When my thoughts reside in Hell
[Verse 2]
You know you control me
And you speak through my head from your metal lips
And you'll tell me what you think might help myself
I thought you might know me
Of course, not quite entirely
But just enough to know I really needed your help
[Hook 2]
And the stone might break the glass
And we'll wait for it to pass
Just like snow-covered grass
But I think it's time to grasp
This motivation that I lack
[Verse 3]
And I'll play the victim
And I'll play the mediator
'Cause that's how I solved my problems as a child
And you'll be complainin'
How my problems are not what I thought they were
And I'll try my very best to force a smile
[Bridge]
And I'll think the night away, yeah, I'll think the night away
'Cause once I'm in my head, I can't escape
So I'll drink the night away, yeah, I'll drink the night away
And I'll wonder if I'll ever be okay
[Hook 3]
And I know it sounds so blue
But I wouldn't be here without you
[Outro]
I'll keep telling myself I won't kill myself
Just as long as I have my fingers
But my wishes, oh, they outweigh my wish sticks
You knew all too well I wouldn't take care of myself
But you could've leaded the right direction
And it shows that that was something I was missin'
Now you want me dead, so get out of my head
It was you that kept me breathin'
I was confident that you were here to stay
Now I'll click refresh 'til my face turns red
And I'm bleeding out my eyelids
Just hopin', just wishin'
For change
