lyrics

Silence
My throat is burning, and my ears are ringing. The memory of the past few days would be good if I had one. I've gone and done it again to myself I guess some lessons we'll never learn. All the coffee and the weed in the world ain't chipping away at this wall. Did it ever occur to you that I might be broken? Did it ever occur to you that I might not be worth your time? Singin' all I want is to be left alone and what I'm looking for don't come from other's opinions, it comes from silence and finding my peace with the world. Leave me the fuck alone, I'ma sit here in the dark, sort my shit out and then I think I'll be fine. The light outside my window hurts my eyes when they are open and the flashing onside my head hurts them when they are closed. Wake up with sheets soaked in sweat, face down in a pillow, lying in the corner on the floor. I would get up if I could find a reason to be sure. Did it ever occur to you that I might be broken? Did it ever occur to you that I might not be worth your time? Singin' all I want is to be left alone and what I'm looking for don't come from other's opinions, it comes from silence and finding my peace with the world. Leave me the fuck alone, I'ma sit here in the dark, sort my shit out and then I think I'll be fine. I'm not looking for pity, in fact, I'm not looking for anything at all. There is nothing any conversation is gonna do to make a difference anytime in my world today. It's a matter of patience and it's a matter of time. So what's a matter with you, give me a moments peace and I will be fine. So I can prove to you that I am not broken. So I can prove to you that I am still worth your time. But for now, all I want is to be left alone and what I'm looking for don't come from other's opinions. It comes from silence, and finding my peace with the world. Leave me the fuck alone, I'ma sit here in the dark, sort my shit out and then I think I'll be fine.
