My Heart in My Mouth

The boy who taught me to feel

Was the same boy who broke my heart

What a sadist.

The boy who gave me those songs I love

Was the reason I stopped listening to them

Oh how selfish.

Oh how selfish.

With my heart in my mouth

I can taste all the bitterness it holds

I try to lift up my prayers

But I’m crushed by the weight of my soul

And through all of these struggles

My body is growing so old

I search in the dirt for glory

I destroy myself looking for gold.

The world that welcomed me in

Is the same world that has just thrown me out

What betrayal.

The world that once was my home

Has moved somewhere else without warning

This is hell.

This is hell.

With my heart in my mouth

I can taste all the bitterness it holds

I try to lift up my prayers

But I’m crushed by the weight of my soul

And through all of these struggles

My body is growing so old

I search in the dirt for glory

I destroy myself looking for gold.
