Hide

There’s a feeling I haven’t felt for a while
A big black hole inside my head
The thickest fog settles around my brain
And it won’t let anything in
No movies or music or anything at all
The smile on your face or dirty joke that I recall
Could clear it up
Could clear it up for me
For now I can’t feel anything
Just like when I was sixteen

And you don’t wanna see me cry
More like I won’t let you
So baby, let me hide
My back is sore, my teeth all hurt
But it is still too quiet
And I’ve felt like this before
So let me hide

There’s a flavor I haven’t tasted for awhile
Cigarette smoke in my lungs
The thickest lump settles inside my throat
It’s a familiar one you know
And no picture so perfect could help it out one bit
Nothing you could say could make me less scared of it
Scared of it
Scared of what you’d say
If you knew
Just what I’d been up to

And you don’t wanna see me cry
More like I won’t let you
So baby, let me hide
My back is sore, my teeth all hurt
But it is still too quiet
And I’ve felt like this before
So let me hide
