Carry Me Out
Ally Rhodes
My hair never really falls the way i want it to
My nails don’t seem to grow
Don’t know what i’m thinking when i expect them to
I bite them down near to the bone
Sleep won’t come so easily anymore
And i’m realizing
My eyes stay dry
It’s just another form of fighting
"What do you want?" i ask myself
I can’t satisfy the question
There’s always too much or not enough
And i can’t decide the pressing matter
Cuz what does it matter?
Get me out of here
Take me where the water meets the pier
Lead me past the shadow of a doubt
Carry me out
Oh, carry me out
The further i fall, the deeper i get
And the longer i have to wait
It’s like as soon as i get my volume up
I forget what i meant to say
The light burned out so long ago
But i keep trying to reignite it
It’s a lost cause and so am i
If it’s a waste of time, i’ll waste my life
Get me out of here
Take me where the water meets the pier
Lead me past the shadow of a doubt
Carry me out
Oh, carry me out
Rising tides, uneven scores
I am dust, they’re petrichor
Hiding daybreak in their chests
Steal the worthy, leave the rest
I’m left
I’m left
