crows fly overhead our car on our way to wisconsin
i wonder if they rely on one another or if their flock is a facade too
i know they tried to love me, but she stopped eating, so i was the one left starved
the feelings of hunger diminished but my organs still cried while i kept internalizing
i wish i could be ten again
not for the ignorance or for the innocence
but for the chance to restart
i think about our old birch trees and comments about it being torn down after id say it was my favorite
only speak when spoken to, no one seems to listen either way, and i cant find my voice
we drove so far to feign this image of normalcy, i wonder how much we wasted on gas
when i start questioning actions doubt knocks on my window telling me that im overreacting
i wish i could be ten again
not for the ignorance or for the innocence
but for the chance to restart
and i cant build a time machine, so i cant fix the past
but i have my license now and can pick my own path
these dirt roads feel familiar and as the birds fly away, so do i

sorry i was late, i was busy picking my face
i needed to feel something again
what did you say? that went in one ear and out the other
i can see the light but i cant seem to keep up with the tunnel
the world keeps passing by, i guess i need to pick up my pace
do you hate me? or did i forget to take my meds?
its likely a communication error on my end
just let me take the blame its easier that way
no matter how i try i cant seem to keep my head out of the clouds
im seeing thunderstorms and im shaking water out of my ears
my car is stuck in drive and im glued to the pedal
i’ll do better next time, i swear i want to change

how many times did i turn to you with pride for you to roll your eyes?
the grip was tighter in public, so i’m quieter in private
winners never quit, quitters never win
i am losing every argument
winners never quit, quitters never win
i guess its time to give in
dont look at me like that, I’m taking my power back
am i only still in this because I’m scared of leaving it?
winners never quit, quitters never win
i am losing every argument
winners never quit, quitters never win
i guess its time to give in
winners never quit, quitters never win
i am losing every argument
winners never quit, quitters never win
i guess its time to give in

the sun goes away, but the moon never does
memories rise and set
i wish i hadn't fallen for your starry eyes and crescent smile
you were an artist who always wanted a perfect image
but i saw the outtakes
the wounds can only get so deep, so stick your fingers back in my paint
you knew i had nowhere else to go
so you dangled stability in front of me like a dog with a bone
the giving tree died by overworking herself
we all have things to learn
picking up others crumbs, trying to feed the beast and myself
i thought our love could move mountains
we couldn't plant seeds as there was no soil, no foundation, to make promises
you wish to move on as if nothings changed
and i pity you
don't instill fear into other's hearts
should i warn them?
my leaves are regrowing slowly
my trust is rebuilding slowly
