Lyrics Vinyl - Commonwealth

Vinyl

The crackle of the record player
I’m staring at the ceiling again
Sheets on my bed hold me stealing
Minutes, hours, & days
I’ve got to get away
You dug me a shallow grave
But I’m okay
My apathetic thoughts
Are starting to fade and stay away
I’ve got to get away
What if I never get my life together
Skin turned to leather
From all this changing weather
Anxious bones hoping it was for a reason
This push and pull it makes the end much better
Hopefully one day I will measure
I long to be taken as I am
Just reach out your vinyl hand
And play with me in beautiful discord
I’ll never let you go
I should’ve never let you speak
I’ve got cracks beneath this fragile surface you see
Take your hand off my chest and let it bleed
I’ve got cracks beneath
Just wish you would accept me
I fought for something I never though
That I would ever have at all
I guess I thought I’d be the one to show you
But you left me
For dead
My apathetic thoughts
Are starting to fade and stay away
I’ve got to get away
What if I never get my life together
Skin turned to leather
From all this changing weather
Chain and ball strapped to my ankle
In the end
Maybe it was you who left me bruised and mishandled
