Bittersweet remedy, heal me I've tried to be everything you need of me
I'm not holding my breath, I know that ruin merely rests I can feel it pressed against my chest Like a virus, I've tried to find us, a way out of this hole With my hands pressed against my nose I'm trying to be holy, but I still don't feel whole I'm trying to be holy, but I still don't feel whole
Can't you see that it's haunting me Every night when I try to sleep? I'm so weak Burdened by the epiphany That misery's periphery won't let me be
The grass is always greener when you live in black and white I try to close my eyes, imagine everything's alright But honey like an arrow, sewn into a quiver It's in my marrow, it's in my liver You watch me wilt away like a flower without rain There's nothing you can do, honey, please just look away
I am nailed to this cross, and I must carry it alone I'd ask you to hold my hands but they're worn to the bone
Can't you see that it's haunting me Every night when I try to sleep? I'm so weak Burdened by the epiphany That misery's periphery won't let me be
