Vinyl - Commonwealth

The crackle of the record player

I’m staring at the ceiling again

Sheets on my bed hold me stealing

Minutes, hours, & days

I’ve got to get away

You dug me a shallow grave

But I’m okay

My apathetic thoughts

Are starting to fade and stay away

I’ve got to get away

What if I never get my life together

Skin turned to leather

From all this changing weather

Anxious bones hoping it was for a reason

This push and pull it makes the end much better

Hopefully one day I will measure

I long to be taken as I am

Just reach out your vinyl hand

And play with me in beautiful discord

I’ll never let you go

I should’ve never let you speak

I’ve got cracks beneath this fragile surface you see

Take your hand off my chest and let it bleed

I’ve got cracks beneath

Just wish you would accept me

I fought for something I never though

That I would ever have at all

I guess I thought I’d be the one to show you

But you left me

For dead

My apathetic thoughts

Are starting to fade and stay away

I’ve got to get away

What if I never get my life together

Skin turned to leather

From all this changing weather

Chain and ball strapped to my ankle

In the end

Maybe it was you who left me bruised and mishandled
