the empty wooden box where my heart slept Lyrics by Oxidize

Lost Cargo

2024

[Chorus]
You couldn't give me no space, yet you're asking if I'm still breathing
I'm hiding heart in this place locked away where no one else can see it
I always wished this was fake and that somehow you would believe it
But I just came to the same conclusion, why am I still here without reason?
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I tore out the pages in my notes right through the cracks in the screen
Searching through photos for reasons to mitigate all of these feelings
I know a breakthrough is near but I feel like it's going to leave me in pieces
God, please, oh, huh
God, please, don't try me for treason, I don't know if I still believe it
[Chorus]
You couldn't give me no space, yet you're asking if I'm still breathing
I'm hiding heart in this place locked away where no one else can see it
I always wished this was fake and that somehow you'd care to believe it
But I always keep reaching the same damn conclusion, oh, why am I still here without reason?
[Verse 2]
Wipe all the tears off my desk, that's the least that I can do
The only thing that kept me in check was you
I feel like everything I do is just some derivative of people that I wish that I was
If blood ever touches the walls then I'm fucked, I can't leave no traces
There ain't no Tide pen or bleach that could wash away all those abrasions
The static creeps up on me, the voice of the night
The screams trapped inside will try claiming my life
A gunshot could help, might be worth a try
But i'm all out of shells, so the cord will suffice
[Chorus]
You couldn't give me no space
You couldn't give me no space, I stopped breathing when I grabbed the rope
When I hide my heart in this place, locked away, I'll finally let go
I always wished this was fake and that somehow you'd give me some hope
But I finally reached the conclusion, so, please, don't come back home
