Swallow Your Tongue

Tell me again
What makes a friend a friend?
'Cause the way you give then take makes me forget
But how could it end?
You’re always there for me
Waiting patiently to swallow me again
(Come and rest your tired eyes)
Your fangs need sedative
(Leave that pathetic life)
Your honey tongue poison
(Walk a mile with no shoes)
Voices in my head
(No one’s going to miss you)
Swallow it instead
I hope you choke on it
Whisper again
Sweeter nothings than
All the dreary things this body says I get
I’ll let you in
Leave behind my skin
Slither in and pull my spirit out again
I'm tired of hearing the lie
That I live an impossible life
Where my mind and body collide
I’m learning to get on my own side

Here's to new beginnings
I'm looking back
I'm looking forward
Squinted eyes
For new horizons
Not surprising
'Cause this is not the first time
I've sat up here
On the edge of a new year
Looking out
For some new vision
Some ambition
Some external pressure
Pressing enough
To squeeze out the new blood
Force my hand
To shed this old skin
Wine from within
'Cause I've been disappointed
I've let myself down
More times than I can count
I never learn
Unless I'm suffering
Bullfrog boiling
But happy new year new me
I'm sure that you'll be
The me that outruns me
The hero of
This coward's journey
Run right through me
Yeah bitter wine can taste sweet
When the vintage is new
Peeling scabs off of old wounds
Unshrunk patches
Where scars should be
Always bleeding
Yeah you can hold your pain high
Shake your fist at the sky
Or lay down and die
For all the despair
And life isn't fair
And God doesn't care
But you can't stay forever
Wishing yourself
Were somebody else
Anywhere
But right here bleeding
You'll never be free
The only way to heal this
Is to lean into it
Let it sting let it itch
How deep does it go
You don't want to know
But you want to grow
I don't know why we suffer
But as long as we do
Let's sail straight on through
Tie yourself to the mast
And let the waves crash
Hold your breath till they pass
Healing always comes with time
But it's on the other side
Of suffering with dignity
And the drowning death of pride
Where scars begin to form
And deeper than your wounds
A joy that can endure
I'm the same
I can't change
Change my name
Change my frame
So I'll stay
I'll stay
I'll stay
I'll stay
