lyrics

I stopped speaking words when I realized
that some of my best friends only like to hear their own,
and when they walk they forget that I’m lying right under them.

I have too much to say so I won’t say anything.

I asked myself to hold it inside just like when I held the hedgehog
that burrowed its way into my gut.

While its pines stabbed my innards
While its getting drunk off my liver.

I don’t know why but I feel if I
hold it inside long enough
people won’t worry
they’ll stop talking and forget that I exist.

The hedgehog is gone now
and I’m relieved/ I’m lonely.

I’m sitting in my room
and nothing hurts anymore.
