Shut in with the Burden Lyrics by Great Apes

California Heart

0

The old familiar weight in the chest
The knees creak and the bones compress
Locked myself in my room again
Buried in a coffin bed to mend
With a mind set on self-mutiny
There’s no pity or pill for remedy
The moods swing like a pendulum
A moment’s peak pulled back to plunge
Don’t lie and tell me
I’ll be fine
Another sleepless night
Sun cuts through the curtain like a knife
The clamor in the lobes never quits
The valley fog in me never lifts
Don’t lie and tell me
I’ll be fine
These days are the pages I don’t want to read
Just turn me to the good parts that will never be
A cruel author’s character, penned for tragedy
Just turn me to the good parts that will never be
On day three I was forced from quarantine
By a friend trying to boost my self-esteem
Coffee and smokes at River Park
With her hand on mine she said "don’t you fall apart"
Just lie and tell me
I’ll be fine
These days are the pages I don’t want to read
Just turn me to the good parts that will never be
A cruel author’s character, penned for tragedy
Just turn me to the good parts that will never be
