Empty Jars

I've tried to get away from everything I've done and said.
Years ago, I tried to kill myself. I shouldn't be here, I should be dead.
I wish that I could bury that boy, and put his fears to rest.
They continuously echo all around inside my head.

I took new pronouns, bought new clothes, gave myself my own name.
And hoped, that if I fixed those things, that somehow the rest would change.
But I came for answers, came for closure. Yeah, that's why I came.
Found out the work will never end, I'll persist anyway.

I've been this way so long, my mom says it's been since my youth.
That I'd always sought a well to drink in deep and feed these wilted roots.
But it might be easier to sell me shit, than give me truth.
'Cause I've been so hard-headed now, I can't believe or I won't believe.

Now I think I've found a way, and now I think I'm doing it.
Think I'm finally driving this thing, but I need to dump the body in the passenger seat.

Dead Outside

You're on the blanket on the couch, you close your eyes.
I see you softly breathing where you lie.
The ups and downs, the short stops in-between your breaths,
will one day last forever. Ups and downs' all we got left.
It's all we got.

So do what we can, with what time we have.
No need to learn to let go.
Because, one day, we simply will, and when? We'll never know.
So I look at you,
you look at me,
we both look into the stars.
Where, in that void, we finally find
a place we can call ours.
What we could call...

So do what we can, with what time we have.
No need to learn to let go.
Because, one day, we simply will, and when? We'll never know.
So I look at you.
Just, please, look at me.
We could all look up to the stars.
Where, in that void, we might hope to find
a place we could call ours.
What we might call...
