Each of us carries it
Some more than others
Don't be the one who marries it
Then pretend when you've broken up
We say it's not heavy
But the eyes are our biggest tells
You must be tired
Heard that a couple times
But really you're just mentally unwell
What if you could be free of it
You know
The baggage
You won't need anyones help
Because
Well
There'd be nothing left to carry
You don't have to start big
Or get rid of it all at once
You just have start it
Bit by bit
Unloading all your haunts
Am I the cupboards
Or the backboard
Of the bed alone at night
Am I the closet
Where my skeletons
Will learn to live and thrive
Am I the sheets so dimly lit
Between the covers I would hide
Just to try and forget
Every bitter moment in my life
I'm taking out trash
I'm taking out all of my past
I'll put it in all these bags
I'm picking up all of the glass
I'm cutting my hands
Running them both under taps
I'm putting on plasters
Over disasters
Yet I'm having a blast
Shattered reflection
Cross intersected
In my mind
I need a blessing
Or intervention
Or a sign
Trying my best
I'm lifting my head
Just to smile
Puffing my chest
To keep the mess
From going wild
I'm taking out trash
There's some holes in my bag
I gotta move fast
Throw it and never look back
The weather might be bad
But I'm
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
I'm anti depressant
Done with depending
On chemical lessons
All the pretending
That I've implemented
I'm
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Am I the pretender
Or the defender
And the mender of my mind
Am I the deceiver
Or the believer
That I might just save my light
Am I the one who never wins
Am I the one who get it's right
Cause I'm human
Only human
Just a human
Wanting life
I'm taking out trash
I'm taking out all of my past
I'll put it in all these bags
I'm carrying everything mad
I'm breaking my back
And dragging my feet through the black
But when I take a look behind me
I know there's no going back
Back
Shattered perceptions
Are the pleasures of my mind
I don't need to dress it
Just to make out that I'm fine
I've cleared out the present
Just to give myself some time
To make the connections
That I cut between my eyes
And If I preach it
And I feel it
Maybe one day I can change
Cause I need to clear the dirt that keeps on
Coursing through my veins
And If I preach it
And I feel it
Maybe one day I can change
Cause I need to clear the dirt that keeps on
Coursing through my veins
And If I preach it
And I feel it
Maybe one day I can change
Cause I need to clear the dirt that keeps on
Coursing through my veins
When I'm bruising
Battered
Ruined
I know I will find my way
I'm taking out trash
There's some holes in my bag
I gotta move fast
Throw it and never look back
The weather might be bad
But I'm
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
I'm anti depressant
Done with depending
On chemical lessons
All the pretending
That I've implemented
I'm
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Ok so
I know it's a lot of stuff
But I guess
We just have to start
Dealing with it
Right
Depression
In the trash
Past traumas
In the trash
Anxiety
In the trash
Bad partners
In the trash
Lost mommas
In the trash
Gone fathers
In the trash
Really really really really crap friends
In the trash
Put the selfish
In the trash
The repressive
In the trash
The ones who always tell you you look ugly when sad
Put the thought of never being enough
In the trash
The days spent in the bed
In your head
In the trash
Fake smiles
In the trash
No trust
In the trash
Put the horror that you used to call love
In the trash
All the venom
In the trash
Every dread
In the trash
Put the misery you never could shed
In the trash
I'm taking out trash
There's some holes in my bag
I gotta move fast
Throw it and never look back
The weather might be bad
But I'm
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
