Building Humans from WORRIED SICK by Meres

This trail runs hollow
Coming in at second best
Calm down and take it steady convinced it was counterfeit

I’m a coward at every turn
Feel at home with jagged steps
This mild indifference
Masquerading as confidence

I’ve got nothing better than what I am
Talk myself up and cheat it while giving in
But you don’t see the problem
You don’t know the half of it
Your escape keeps broadening
And I can’t tell if you’ll take it
So let me down

Feel content in disruption
But ready to be ripped apart
To search for the outlines of what I fear
In the safety of the dark

But you’re not afraid of anything
And sure we could be lying
Is it better to force it forward
Believe in something
Believe in anything

Throw down burn it all in the blink of an eye
What a turn of power if I could ever say it right
What it means to feel this
Softening of edges
Your escape keeps broadening
And I can’t tell if you’ll take it
So let me down
If you’re not staying around

Set me
Up to fail
Set me
Up to fail

I was caught in a dead end cycle
Waiting to wake up
Waiting until it felt like I was enough

Fevered aching and waiting for my insides to thaw
And maybe this discomfort is all that I’ve been looking for

But you don’t see the problem
You don’t know the half of it
Your escape keeps broadening
And I can’t tell if you’ll take it

So let me out
