Splinter

about

*Disclaimer* I know the heart has 4 chambers; the line: 'the 2 chambers in your heart, beg for mercy in the dark' was poetically used to reference the fact that I felt like half a human when I wrote this. Plz stop giving me anatomy lessons. ok bai

lyrics

Oh girl, he's just a splinter, his eyes whisper just a glimmer
of the story you once told of gold in him
The black pot couldn't handle, getting called out by the kettle
And lately girl, you're looking rather thin

So I'm begging with them please, pretty, pretty please
Tell me I can be enough for anybody else
So I'm begging with them please, oh pretty, pretty please
Cause I was so much happier when I could love myself

Roses of red, a gift for the dead
Laid down with generosity to calm the ghost in me
These demons in me head, ever hungry, never fed
A mutiny has taken place, now I can't get no rest

So I'm begging with them please, pretty, pretty please
I'll cut my loss, I'll have a shot, I'm crawling on my knees
So I'm begging with them please, oh pretty, pretty please
Because this is my cross to bear, you sow just what you reap

Oooh, it's like a needle in my eye
and I'm losing my sight,
in the confines of my mind
And it whispers,

Girl, you're just a splinter, not an echo, just a whimper
in the battle you once fought, thinking you'd win
The two chambers in your heart, beg for mercy in the dark
Now you've stained your lips with berry juice to LEAVE YOUR FUCKING MARK

So I'm begging with them please, pretty, pretty please
I'll cut my loss, I'll have a shot, I'm crawling on my knees
So I'm begging with them please, oh pretty, fucking please
Because this is my cross to bear, you sow just what you reap

Please, tell me I can be enough for anybody else
Please, cause I was so much happier when I could love myself
