Bury My Thoughts Six Feet Under

(verse 1)
the lightening crackled above just like the explosions of the fireworks that boomed in our ears
straight over our heads, killing the earth and the sky, as I clung to you
everything was dead until I was in your arms again, and by that time it was too late
for my hands are like glue and I remembered what it felt like to forget how to let go

(chorus)
careless times and running, running, running
only to be drawn right back in like waves on that shore you hate so badly
and every time the time lines up I wish to know why I can't help but always get pulled in
when I know that I'll always end up getting drawn back out in the endless tides

(verse 2)
I am the epitome of quitting, always giving up before the fight even starts
because no matter how many times I tell myself I'm the hero, in reality I'm only a coward fleeing from the action scene
the promise of happy endings always appear to be just a twisted lie, a sick joke, a cruel prank
something that only presents itself to characters in a fairytale, where their lives get a real end and not just a failed attempt at one

(chorus)
careless times and running, running, running
only to be drawn right back in like waves on that shore you hate so badly
and every time the time lines up I wish to know why I can't help but always get pulled in
when I know that I'll always end up getting drawn back out in the endless tides

(bridge)
round and round and round and round and round we seem to go
I'm chasing and chasing and running and running but never letting go
but never letting go

(chorus)
careless times and running, running, running
only to be drawn right back in like waves on that shore you hate so badly
and every time the time lines up I wish to know why I can't help but always get pulled in
when I know that I'll always end up getting drawn back out in the endless tides

(bridge cont.)
round and round and round and round and round we seem to go
I'm chasing and chasing and running and running but never letting go
but never letting go
why can't I let you go...

hiya! it took me a little while to actually publish this song, because it's about something really personal and basically uses a hell of a lotta metaphors to explain my relationship troubles. but all in all, I'm pretty dang proud of this one right here.
welp, I hope you have a ✨FABULOUS✨ day!!! 💟
