My body folds into an envelope of grief

from Everything I could not fix I broke into smaller pieces by Shelby Trapid

/

lyrics

The sun didn’t rise today
Vultures descend and
Devour their prey
It’s not a surprise anyway
When the greed turns to spite
All that’s left will decay

My head is an overcrowded aquarium
An unnaturally saturated ecosystem
The water spills over and forms a new ocean
I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused

The sun didn’t rise today
The sky’s upside down and
You’ve got nothing to say
It’s not a surprise anyway
When the heart stops beating
The skin fades to grey

Another day ends
I crawl out of my skin and
Slip into bed as a ghost
Without my shell
Without my body
That folds in on itself with grief

My head is an overcrowded aquarium
An unnaturally saturated ecosystem
The water spills over and forms a new ocean
I’m sorry for any trouble I’ve caused

The sun didn’t rise today
Everyone I love is floating away
