Blankets

There is a certain kind of sadness, so sweet, it makes you sick

I've seen it wrap you up like a blanket until you can’t get out of it

You just lay like this for hours, play the ever-present host

To an avalanche of ashes, to an unforgiving ghost

Now you're slowly disappearing, I see a whole lot less of you

You're like a memory fading and there’s nothing I can do

You fetishize your feelings as if you relish the abuse

Wearing long sleeves like a lover who is covering a bruise

As you soak in the importance of your existential truth

Let me gently remind you, you don't have to

Let me gently remind you, you don't have to

Now you're slowly disappearing, I see a whole lot less of you

You're like a memory fading and there's nothing I can do
