lyrics

I bought a black tie for my throat
It hangs and whispers, “don’t let go”
Don’t take a symbol for the mourn
Convince yourself you really care
I spent a lifetime letting in
Obsessive pity feeding guilt
Hiding shame and misdirect
I thought I had to block it out

I bought a black tie just to feel
Like feeling sad was not a thought
I had to make it about me
I’m working but I’m not there yet
I spent a lifetime letting in
Obsessive pity feeding guilt
Hiding shame and misdirect
I thought I had to block it out

How do you let it fade away

Intentions pull the shovel out
And bury her down with the pain
We sit and wonder where we go
Could she be at least a ghost?
We feel so weak we turn our heads
The truth becomes a thing we dread
I feel so weak I turn my head
Only I know that she’s not dead
