The Wretch

Lyrics: Tristan Valenti Music: Tristan Valenti Looks like it's kicking in The wall's alive I watch it breathing Counting fireflies As they dance across the popcorn ceiling It's mid-July But the air's gone stale and approaches freezing Snapped back to life As the warmth trails down my wrists Rest easy
I can barely move I'm soaked into the floor Everything I bottled up is spilling out and more Take a deep breath And feel it slowing down Stay calm They can save you if you make a sound
Grace couldn't save a wretch like me! Couldn't spare me from life I woke up on the hospital sheets Through all the prescriptions The drunken addictions The sunken afflictions The ****ing conniptions All that I've learned Is that life doesn't come for free, yeah So what the **** should I be?
Checked in at the ward Turned my stitches into scars If they want me to live so bad Well, they're doing an awful job "Oh no, fifteen-thousand in debt Guess you'll have to work for us"
