Comedown - Unturned

Painting portraits in my head, I’m so devoid of your cadence

Colour you in hues of red, the canvas we created when I felt like a tourist in

my own skin, going through the same shit everyday

I was growing a garden that would never come to bloom

I can’t shake this self-complacent curse

And you know that I know that you know that

I’ve been searching for a way out

Did you find out that I’m rotting myself to the core?

Looming like the smoke in your bedroom, a permanent crutch used just to guide

us through the freezing cold

Exhale and let me go

Never feeling whole when you’re not home

Am I supposed to be alone?

I tell myself it’s what I need, I won’t fit into this mold

I’ve had enough of it

I’ve been searching for a way out, did you find out that I’m rotting myself to

the core?

Looming like the smoke in your bedroom, a permanent crutch used just to guide

us through the freezing cold

I traded change for growth
