Flatsound I Exist I Exist I Exist song lyrics

"baby please, it's the way you speak

forming words so easily

and i think of the way you think

it keeps me from falling asleep

in that grave i call a bed

until you called me up and said

"i haven't stopped crying

my father's been drinking

i need a place to stay

i don't want to be here

he's saying the words that

he promised he would never say

that liquid he consumes

makes him speak the truth"

and i said no, its not that at all

its that bottles of lies for a troubled heart

its standing on the edge of a mountain top

screaming anything he wants

like, "look at me, because i exist"

i remember the way you shook

its a shame that we're not soul mates

because if i didn't know better

i'd say this feels pretty good

how could i be scared?

when i stretch and feel that you're there

so shut your mouth

because these words will speak themselves

i can feel them in these blankets

and they're surrounding your figure

embraced in the quilts

and i cant help but think

you're my missing puzzle piece

i wake up in the hallway, i'm looking for sunlight

with rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight

ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me

to get out of this house

i cant make them stop

i'm just like my mom

and you said no, these demons will fall

you're so precious to us all

and i said i cant do this alone

i still need you to hold

so don't let go, because i'm afraid"
