Starving

My scars were open words were spoken like a sacrifice
My heart was broken from the moment you entered my life
My veins were screaming for a needle that could calm my night
My soul’s deceiving me by cheating me from what was right

If I would keel over, would anyone cry?
If I could be sober, one day at a time
Before I get older, before I go blind
If I could not mistake my state of mind

I’m scared that I’m still sleeping
Been pre-paired with someone else’s demon
So I’ll stare till they’re retreating
I won’t regret protecting this moment
I was starting to shake cause I’m starving

My brain was bleeding, interceding for a moment more
The stains receded I was seated on the bathroom floor
My lungs stopped breathing I was reading my own civil war
I hit the ceiling, felt the feeling, tell me what’s in store

If I would keel over, would anyone cry?
If I could be sober, one day at a time
Before I get older, before I go blind
If I could not mistake my state of mind

I’m scared that I’m still sleeping
Been pre-paired with someone else’s demon
So I’ll stare till they’re retreating
I won’t regret protecting this moment
I was starting to shake cause I’m starving

If I’m treading water, don’t pull me under
But if I go under, could you reach me?
I’m starting to wonder when this is over
All I know is you’re all I’ll ever need

I’m scared that I’m still sleeping
Been pre-paired with someone else’s demon
So I’ll stare till they’re retreating
I won’t regret protecting this moment
I was starting to shake cause I’m starving

I’m scared that I’m still sleeping
Been pre-paired with someone else’s demon
So I’ll stare till they’re retreating
I won’t regret protecting this moment
I was starting to shake cause I’m starving
