H.L.B. – The Gospel Youth

I’ve been struggling with sleep.
I find it hard to close my eyes,
Pretending it was all a dream.
Set sail with your ghost.
I don’t believe that you were ever here,
The coldest place I’ve ever been.

But I found out what it’s like
to be with someone who took away my dark,
And have it all sussed out and concrete
in the empty space inside my head.
But now it’s all messed up.
The butterflies are now a pain up in my chest.
If this is what it’s like to live
then I wish I was dead.

I lost my faith some time ago,
I may as well be stranded out at sea
where the only thing left to do is sink.
But I swear to god I’ve never loved like this before,
so how typical it was of me
to be all in when you cut and run.

But I found out what it’s like
to be with someone who took away my dark,
And have it all sussed out and concrete
in the empty space inside my head.
But now it’s all messed up.
The butterflies are now a pain up in my chest.
If this is what it’s like to live
then I wish I was dead.
