Moths - Cubbiebear

I let 'er back, wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be

Solving thoughts of self-worth, getting over you

Feeling all these feet that I’m underneath

The words are coming about as easy as

My peace that it swallows in between

And I’m lost with she consuming my thoughts

Turning he to he is something I don’t need

Right, afraid of you, or afraid of me?

Aging the lesson, living in future’s worry

I could never see, so I’m allowed to question

And it’s not to leave us left guessing

I just wanna breath with a chest free of tension

Have an answer that defines the meaning

It’s hard to believe though right?

Honesty, now even the truth is hard to read

So we coop up afraid to speak and stay silent just be

'Cause anger follows the word we, and we don’t get

We try, look pathetic, regret that warmth or freeze

I’ll stand rejected these words infest

And now hurt is a cure, wings spread be free

And I’ll try to be

Sometimes I’m guessing the lessons learned

Are stretched in tethered seams, seems to stretch

Mixing up my thoughts, fuckin' up my speech

And the circle circle’s

Starts at the scene where you decide to leave

And I can’t pretend to not see if you’re right

Cause if I was you I guess, I would hate me

Yeah I felt like that way for like, I 'dunno, for a while, uh, I was like,

too busy trying to like, fix a thing, and keep it alive

This is why I step regardless of fate

I move from you, feeling sick and afraid

Foot at a time every day more empty

So I paint but everything bleeds gray

You want proof that I move from what I do

With every truth seen as excuse

What’s the use of blame?

Already bruised

And claimed everything that we went through

I’m out of pockets to hold this shame with

So sick of past and pain you keep placed in

So I mass mistakes and turn facing a grudge

That claim them, hoping it won’t hate it

But it’s a monster, it’s not solid

My hands go right through

So dark and abused, a shadow to hide promises

We used to hold on to

The only conviction that’s said so plain

Is against in defense of misjudged statements

Till we shake in rage you hold aim with a weight

To carry my name in

I’m making you look like a bad person, right?

Is that what you’d say?

I can’t feel guilty all the time

And there’s only so much I could take

So the stress made a space in old is a tell in the mirror

Only we don’t grow, just age to the point of defeat

And it shows, straining to speak but just don’t

As awful as I ever was

Hoping for hope, grabbing at air with stares so cold

And a person who crumbles in between holds

I sift through it looking for gold, but find, that I won’t

You know what?

That’s always like the weird part too, like when people break up

and it gets like, ugly and terrible.

Like how come they can’t just remember,

like when they met, they saw something beautiful in each other.

They found an attractive person they’re like, you know, 'I wanna find out more

about them, they seem incredible, they seem very nice, they seem…

blah blah blah' and you learn about that person.

Why’s it all have to get ugly?

Why can’t it just be remembered that, it started because you fuckin' liked

each other

This distance creates a space

We fill with fingers pointing cross-ways

And hold our hearts, pledging our side

So brave but afraid to step off base

Such a waste of air to fill words when

Our exhales that hope to help cure just hurt

And we search through what’s heard for comfort

But keep finding an ugly person

It’s pathetic, someone’s gotta say it

At this point, I’ve run out of guilt

Somewhere between my try and your pride

Free will has turned this to an easy kill

Mistakes are made at times, I’m not perfect

And worse shit you could even claim

But a better person forgives and moves on

Blame threads every glance that you make

I’m losing my will to care or be there, be alone

If the truth is mutual, I know, my silence is hell

where you told take note

Poke the bear beware the path you chose

Cause you my belly up

And I ought to know the same shot

I could show where you rot

I could push and prod till you fold

But I’m not I won’t

I could but I don’t

I hold that fault to my chest

One hand waving my best, drowning

Afraid of distance but let

The two of us left upset, stop shouting

Assuming a mess, the toll it takes to just rest

In peace each piece still counting

Ways to forget, unless it’s a win it’s just stress

In address to nothing amounting

So let’s just bet on downing each other again

Prep that poker face, push all in

You’re all verse to all of me, blood and skin

Who wins can say let’s just be friends

And flaunt it, other pretends to not lose face

Gives in, smiles that keep up in company

But never feel safe, neglects, reject, just blend in
