Golden Gates - Griffin Johnson

Biting my lips to try not to curse

Lying and saying it’s not complicating

Telling them things equally as worse

Lying and saying that my bones are breaking

It’s dark, oh it’s dark inside my head

And it won’t seem to end

When I roll on won’t you follow?

Help me through this

Through the dark and hollow

Shred me to bits

Push me off a cliff

Whatever it takes to get me through golden gates

Figuring out the difference between

Lying and faking and exaggerating

Telling them stories of things we have seen

Trying to take a breath asphyxiating

Now I’m starting to think this was a bad idea

Maybe it’s better to live through those days

Up here all alone

Telling them to go

Go on without me your life isn’t empty

After all the time you took to talk me out of it

I didn’t listen now I’m having my regret

What a big mistake

There was too much to take

Go on without me your life isn’t empty
