[Verse 1] These walls are breathing with my mistakes Every crack a promise that I couldn't keep You painted me in colors I can't wash away Now I'm drowning in the shallow end of sleep [Pre-Chorus] And I'm screaming but the sound won't leave my throat Writing letters that I'll never let you read [Chorus] I'm a poetic tragedy, bleeding ink instead of apologies Cut me open, find the words I couldn't say I'm a beautiful disaster, falling faster into after Every verse another way to push you away This is my poetic tragedy [Verse 2] Your ghost still lingers in my peripheral A silhouette of everything I used to need I'm collecting all the pieces of my funeral Eulogy for a heart that wouldn't bleed [Pre-Chorus] And I'm reaching but my hands pass through the air Chasing shadows of a love that disappeared [Chorus] I'm a poetic tragedy, bleeding ink instead of apologies Cut me open, find the words I couldn't say I'm a beautiful disaster, falling faster into after Every verse another way to push you away This is my poetic tragedy [Bridge] (Softer, building) Tell me why the prettiest lies Are wrapped in truth we recognize I'm the author of my own demise Writing endings in your eyes (Explosive) TEAR THE PAGES OUT! BURN THE MEMORIES DOWN! [Final Chorus] I'm a poetic tragedy, bleeding ink instead of apologies Cut me open, find the words I couldn't say I'm a beautiful disaster, falling faster into after Every verse another way to push you away This is my poetic tragedy This is MY poetic tragedy
