Spent most of my childhood alone
Chasing my tail and walking on a tightrope
Out in the fields
Catching grasshoppers with my hands
I didn't know anyone
I guess I didn't smile enough
And I didn't have friends
Cause everyone was scared
Of me
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
The axe in my back left me black and blue
To this day
Looking in through the window
Light shines out onto the snow
And I hate how you talk
And I hate how you bite back
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
Thought I was a monster, I grew up a soldier
I'll never be a man like you
You used to say
I'd watch you watch me with those hollow eyes
Every night
I'd reach for you through darkness every time
I was blind
You're my lighthouse
You're my island
With the lights off
Made of silence
I'm tryna find you still
I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
The axe in my back left me black and blue
To this day
