Lyrics
I Help Myself
Verse:
My dress is slowly beginning to resemble a piano
My colors are fading into a distinct black and white
Sky is sunny, Air is piercing and you are on my mind
Hands on the clock only remind me of your heartbeat
Every second is one without you
Chorus:
I help myself by loving you the most
I help myself by talking to your ghost
Verse:
Snow begins to cover itself in the wintertime,
Quickly my mind needs to be with yours and I'm always sure,
I'm always sure
I slept inside your ribcage for days to find my deeper sleep
Sleep has never been this goddamn pure and you are the cure
You are the cure
Chorus:
I help myself by loving you the most
I help myself by talking to your ghost
Bridge:
There are miles and clocks and highways that keep me away from you
When your memory comes flashing back, you'll only have to know
Where the time goes,
I won't keep my distance it's true
Verse:
Sometimes I feel that my heart is made of rust
Give me a sign, a straight premonition,
Tell me you'll pull through if I want you to
Chorus:
I help myself by loving you the most
I help myself by talking to your ghost
I help myself by loving you the most
I help myself by talking to your ghost
