I Exist I Exist I Exist - Flatsound

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

'Til 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, it’s not that at all

It’s that bottle of lies for a troubled heart

It’s standing on the edge of a mountain top

Screaming anything he wants

Like, «Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,

look at me

Because I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist»

I remember the way you shook

It’s a shame that we’re not soul mates

'Cause if I didn’t know better, I’d say this feels pretty good

And how could I be scared?

When I stretch and feel you’re there

So shut your mouth

'Cause these words will speak themselves

I can feel them in these blankets

And they’re surrounding your figure, embraced in the quilts

And I can’t 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 can’t 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

I can’t do this alone

I still need you to hold

So don’t let go, don’t let go, don’t let go, don’t let go, don’t let go,

don’t let go

Because I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid,

I’m afraid
