Hail The Sun - Burn Nice and Slow (The Formative Years)

Feeding off of my cold insides
Was the doubt instilled around me
Second guessing
Not impressing
Silence will hide it

My existence is subpar when pity's obsolete
Campus is closed
Students go home
I sulk in bed

But the person laying beside me holds on
Partially saving me

Bracing the insecurities
You stayed nudging me gently
Thank you, truly, for the love

Velvet sheets place of confession
Safety blanket - your gift to me

Feeding off of my nervous mind
Was the damage done inside me
Self inflicting
Isolating
Capsules will hide it

Fuck the feeling I get when she tried to comfort me
What could she do?
Suffocate on 1st Avenue

This was not the way I wanted it to be
This was not the way you wanted it for me
Taking measures to sever and resign
On repeat
On repeat
Take your feelings and cleanse yourself of mine
Slip away
Toss my things

Self inflicting
Undeserving
Anger will hide it

Fuck the feeling I felt when she finally had enough
To my chagrin, I watched her love for me begin to

Burn nice and slow
Burn nice and slow
Burn nice and slow
Burn up
