about

Burn all my things.

lyrics

So relax in your lovely chair
and close your eyes without a care
Just forget the fun we had so
you stop feeling this God damn bad
You've got something that I can't name
It's not your heart babe but in your brain
I can try to ease the pain but I will probably
feel the same

You see I'm here but my lips feel numb
I'm so tired but I'm hangin' on like a thread
to a needle that's working a dress except my
passion's gone and inside I'm a mess

I broke all my things and tore up the house
I can barely feel or understand how but
I want you to know that I'm sorry I gave up
He said "don't patronize me" you don't give a fuck

It's eating my interior as I lie upon this bed
My veins are showing from all the stress built in my head
You don't have to worry much the issues I accept
Your crying doesn't help as my wings begin to spread
The emptiness is as full as George Jung's nose
I can't explain the feeling you'll be first to know
It's been slow and painful and such a long time
That was the last thing I thought before I closed my eyes

I say you should keep moving on
like a train on its way down to Charleston
Pack up your bags, drop everything, and leave
cuz this is the last time you'll be seeing me

I broke all my things and tore up the house
I can barely feel or understand how but
I want you to know that I'm sorry I gave up
He said "don't patronize me" you don't give a fuck

Burn all my thngs and move out of the house
You can't have me so carry on somehow
Don't ever think that you could do more
Now one last time walk me through the door
