Dead Weight Lyrics by Southtowne Lanes

Break Me

2013

Now I’ll ask you to imagine it:
Sweat on sweat and melt in fabric
The lovers pull each other’s hair
And breathe each name into the air
Then they lock hands, up the tempo;
Love and lust make full crescendo
And all the while I rest empty
‘til you come home, and you tell—

Everything just broke into my head
My life is splattered on the walls
My life is splattered on the floor
If I could just close my eyes
Then maybe I could be okay
Then maybe we could be okay

–tell me what I've already known
You took my fear and made it your home
I've lost control. I've lost control
I've lost control

Everything just broke into my head
My life is splattered on the walls
My life is splattered on the floor
If I could just close my eyes
Then maybe I could be okay
Then maybe we could be okay
But I can’t seem to get them to shut
I think I’m watching myself fall
I think I’m watching myself die
Rip out my eyes, fall to the floor

Hear you cry out

Feel you reaching out

I wish I could fall asleep forever (If I could just close my eyes)
