The days

I wanted the waves to wash the blood away

I wanted the sun to set on a brand new day

But they didn’t mention that it was my brain

And so no one believed it when I said okay

The silence was the reason no one stayed

Every morning I’d wish that I could be brave

But that’s not the way that movies are made

And so I was the only thing that decayed

I think I built the days to be afraid

I only knew why when I would pray

I twisted each mood into a braid

I painted a picture for them to pay

God never said I had to obey

How much can my baggage really weigh?
