Lawn - Grief Diet

The storm is coming
I can feel the breeze on my teeth
While I'm smiling
At new faces
I came here to meet
Got to get
A little high before I go in
So it's easier to hide how I've been
And they say
You lost some weight
You must be doing well
Like I'm not an empty shell
Of whoever the hell
I was before this
Talking about my grief
Like it's a new diet
If I bottled it up
And sold it on the streets
Would you buy it
If it meant
Getting out of bed makes you tired
And takes 6 months to see a doctor
Who calls you a liar
And you've
Burned all your bridges
Or they're catching on fire
And you don't even respond to your friends
Then you wake up
And you do it again
You wake up
And do it again
Wake up and do it
Again
The clouds start forming every morning
I open my eyes.
Like a warning
Another storm I'm going to have to survive
If I could get a moment
To catch my breath
I'd swim to the surface
Release this weight upon my chest
They say you lost some weight
You must be doing well
Like I'm not an empty shell
Of whoever the hell
I was before this.
Talking about my grief
Like it's a new diet
If I bottled it up
And sold it on the streets
Would you buy it
If it meant
Getting out of bed makes you tired
And it takes 6 months to see a doctor
Who calls you a liar
And you've burned all your bridges
Or they're catching on fire
And you don't even respond to your friends
And you wake up
And you do it again
You wake up
You do it again
You wake up and do it again
So go out without me
I'm not who I was before
I'll make you leave early
You'll think that I'm bored
Then make an excuse for
Why you don't call anymore
There's no need
I know there's no room for me
If I'm not me anymore
Please believe me when I tell you
I wish I was better too
Or the girl that you knew who
Would bring all the party
Be fun for everybody
But the fun girl needs somebody
To check up on her too
The storm is coming
I can feel the breeze on my teeth
