Pale Skin

from Letters To No One by Illuminator

lyrics

I cant sleep, bags under my eyes just get heavier
Can't breathe, I can't even think straight
These sleepless nights are growing old
Dear world, i submit you've gotten the best of me
Just give me a moment to exist, to clear my fucking head
It seems like every choice i make is another dead end

These four walls a prison not a home, these people I call my family just make me feel alone
It's like I'rm living a life filled with ghosts, empty bodies with no hosts

When we talk it never feels the same
I can't remember the last time you said my name
I'll tear your walls down and build a coffin in there place
Cause when we talk it's like speaking with the dead
Every memory of you has made a graveyard in my head
I've grown so sick of the cold beneath my sheets
in my mind
in my veins
why can't things just stay the fucking same
I've grown so jaded, so full of fucking hatred

I'll tear your walls down and build a coffin in there place
When we talk it never feels the same, I don't even recognize your face
It's hard to think anyone would want to warm my pale skin

I yearn for the petrichor, to smell the earth after every rain
These ghostly thoughts always come back
Amarathine, these days never end
When we talk it's like I'm speaking to the dead
Never feels the same
It's like I'm living a life filled with ghosts

For every word I say
The phantom chill fades away
For every word I say
The phantom chill fades away
