Took a knife to my pillows
Want to cut him out my dreams
Instead feathers fill my lungs
Once again, it's hard to breathe
Nightmares still live in these blankets
They seeped into the mattress
All my enfeebled attempts
Not strong enough to make it happen
To rid you from my space
To rid you from my mind
Tried to rid you from my spirit
But you still cling to my life
I need to shed this weight
Shoulder blades begin to cave
I see them all move on
And I'm up praying for their ways
Took a knife to my wrist
Want to rid him from my bloodstream
Instead, I'm here bleeding out
When you bury me, dig extra deep
Wicked crimes still stain your flesh
They seeped into your pores
All your successful attempts
To bend my will to favor yours
Tried to rid you from my space
Tried to rid you from my mind
Couldn't shake you from my spirit
You still cling onto my life
Don't think I can shed this weight
Shoulder blades begin to break
They tell me to move on
And I'm praying for better days
Take a pistol to my temple
Need you gone once and for all
I hate the only way to shake you
Is have bullets break through skull
Your words still have me by the throat
Barbed wire round my neck
All I need is one good clean shot
And I'll never see you again
Choking on feathers
Wait for it to get better
Still choking on feathers
When will it get any better?
