about

I wrote this song in 2013.

lyrics

don't raise my bones, leave my skeleton alone / this is no place a lovely face should ever roam / when I wake I fear I'll tear apart your love / so if I wake I pray that all of you is gone / I was the smoke burning through your lungs / you were the fire I glared at for too long / hang me from your bedroom wall / my colors wont grow dull but my petals will all fall / don't raise my bones, this is no place to call your home / just leave me here with the words I fear stuck in my throat / in this bed I've made I've left no room for me to grow / this is no place a lovely face should ever roam /
