Reduce, it’s no use
Compromise? Alway refused
Never enough
I forgot who I was
There is no world
Outside these walls
I have you,
And you are all.
Forget my friends
Fuck my family
No need to worry
I have you
You’ll burn those bridges for me
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk
Never enough
Erasing who I was
You say to jump
I ask, “off of what?”
Never enough
Reduced to dust
Do you even hear yourself?
You’re so dependent it's pathetic
The rug was pulled from under me
And the hardwood turned to concrete
Never around, I let everyone down, I’m
Collapsing on solid ground
Personality censored
I'm worse for weather
Convinced this will get better
Like a single-use plastic that won't degrade
The scars you left will never fade
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk
Never enough
Erasing who I was
You say to jump
I ask, “off of what?”
Never enough
Reduced to dust
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk
