songs: Dying to Live

I must have written this my freshman year of high school, and I later recorded it as part of Nine Sleepless Nights, the album I produced in my childhood bedroom after leaving school.

I've got a sickness
Something bad slowly eating me
And I don't think that I can fix this
I'm lonely and
I'm only human
Well, that's my problem...

Maybe someday
We'll lift eachother higher
Than these earthly wings would let us fly

We'll melt away...
We'll melt away and die...

I'm scared of what's to come
And what's to come undone in the end
All that my life's become
Is time for me to run
And pretend that my mind will live again

Hurry, Self
Think quickly
I feel blood in my lungs
And I'm dying to live
This pain was made by recipe
It's not out on my skin
It's in my mind and knowing I won't live again
