in this cocoon

let me go. just free my bones.

my soul has consumed this skin, my home.

there’s too much noise inside my skull;

please take them out, or rip me apart.

each piece of me has let me down.

i’m so empty for words so loud.

crush my liver and drain my heart,

so i can finally fall apart.

i’m so sorry, i really am.

i’m sorry that i let you down.

this thing i made is too heavy,

so set me free; just be steady.

forget my pain, i’ll forget too.

there’s no more room in this cocoon.
