past life
past life
past life
twinging in pain
do i need to crawl back into that skin
the one i didn’t bother to fully shed
i feel it’s pieces tugging on me
pulling me back
i feel you on me
taking me back
and it feels good
because dancing in the shadows
was always comforting
to me
with you
past life
its true
i think about it
i miss it too
it was easier when i didn’t have to be good
it was easier when i didn’t want to
past life
little speckles on my skin
turned into deep, dark scars
and quickly the romanticized notion of before
it fades from red hot to cold blue
i feel you in me
but i can’t let you in
this isn’t a skin i put on again
this isn’t love
so i’ll let you take care of yourself
let you grow towards the darkness
you don’t know where we go
up in the clouds
so far above, not below
