Lyrics:

Leave me here to die alone, all they’ll find are brittle bones.
Into the detritus I weep, unfamiliar but for the teeth.
Everything that lead me here disappears into the mangled, mossy floor.
Swallow me up, bones and all.

You knew I wanted to wither and rot in the ground.
I watched you turn bitter, dragging deadweight around.

I feel so jaded, please just let me leave.
Let the world open up and swallow me.
Under the crushing weight of doubt, I am the grief that fills this house.

I feel condemned to dwell in misery,
Day in, day out
Like the apple from the tree,
Day in, day out
I rot among the leaves.
Life inside me turns to death, no one sees it through the thickest skin.
Underneath my rictus grin, I confess I am sick.
Underneath my rictus grin, I confess I am sick.

I feel so jaded please just let me leave.
Let the world open up and swallow me.
Under the crushing weight of doubt, I am the grief.
I am the grief.

Desperate with depression, I wanted to end things.
You and your smile, you must have been tired.
It took me a while to see, you were trying to carry my grief.

How could you be happy when I’m pulling you down with me?
How could you be happy when I’m pulling you down with me?

How could you be happy?
How could you be happy?
