Reduce - Splinters (demo) Lyrics

I'll starve
If it means protecting my heart
And still have more to say
When my brittle body is an effigy of my
Determined mind
Great protector
Test how much more we can take

Waking up
Cradling a cup
I could break it with a smile
And I'm going to

Focus on
Authentic thoughts
I don't know what it means
To be with you

Not an adult and I shouldn't need
Your love I should stand up on my own feet
I can fix this pain 'cause I read Dr. Sarno

Self-centered asshole, apologize to her
This fear manifests itself in splinters
If my self-worth's this fragile, then I don't wanna be a model

Waking up
Cradling a cup
I could break it with a smile
And I'm going to

Focus on
Authentic thoughts
I don't know what it means
To be with you

Not an adult and I shouldn't need
Your love I should stand up on my own feet
Can't fix this pain, don't want your f*cking questions

Self-centered asshole, apologize to her
This fear manifests itself in splinters
If a body's this fragile, then maybe I deserve it

But this weight that we shed has to be useful for something

I'm a fetter
Light as a feather, yet stuck to the ground
A cruel joke
A Fatal flaw
My misanthropic jaw leaves me wondering if any mass could ever move me

Not an adult and I shouldn't need
Your love I should stand up on my own feet
But my feet have snapped, and I can't stop from reaching out

Self-centered asshole, apologize to her
This fear manifests itself in splinters
This cyclical trap makes none of it worth it

Leaving plastic pieces strewn on my bed
Bleeding from the cuts they left

Was it worth it for that smile for you
To not notice you crushing yourself
