Blankets

There is a certain kind of sadness, so sweet, it makes you sick
I've seen it wrap you up like a blanket until you can’t get out of it
You just lay like this for hours, play the ever-present host
To an avalanche of ashes, to an unforgiving ghost

Now you're slowly disappearing, I see a whole lot less of you
You're like a memory fading and there’s nothing I can do

You fetishize your feelings as if you relish the abuse
Wearing long sleeves like a lover who is covering a bruise
As you soak in the importance of your existential truth
Let me gently remind you, you don't have to
Let me gently remind you, you don't have to

Now you're slowly disappearing, I see a whole lot less of you
You're like a memory fading and there's nothing I can do
