Vesuvius

Sorry I haven’t called
I’ve  been preoccupied
I  thought the space would clear my mind
I was wrong
I want to be brought to tears by anything
Other  than death
Pace  the room for a reason
Better than my stress
Find  the good in me I lost long ago
Keep my fingers crossed
It’s not very far

Wish I could get a grip
I’m  a burden
I know that all my friends want the best
But I keep to myself

I thought I’m better and I’m not
And I’m sorry

Want to find the good in me
I lost long ago
I know it’s buried somewhere
Don’t forget that I am still a work in progress
Still room to grow

I got lost in the mountains
To try and catch my breath
Stop tying up the loose ends you left me
Cut the noose from my neck

I thought I'm better and I'm not
I'm sorry

Want to find the good in me
I lost long ago
I know it’s buried somewhere
Don’t forget that I am still a work in progress
Still room to grow

So tell me where I break when
I’m burning at both ends
Just to hold steady
I am weathered and worn thin
I’m finding out what happens
To things that won’t bend
Won’t say I’m sorry
I won’t make amends
I wanna pose a threat
Stop wishing I was someone else

Find the good in me
I lost long ago
I know it’s buried somewhere
Don’t forget that I am still a work in progress
Still room to grow
