I hate myself and no one else
But I lie so well, that you'd never tell
If I let you in, it would end us both
B
I care too much to leave this host
Verse - Riff 1
Loneliness, I don't exist, that's fine, okay
December's gift, a constant fist to spine, okay
I'm terrified of everything at night
Hey Box Elder
A dying wish to care if I exist
Hey Box Elder

When loneliness comes crashing in
I will always sink, I'll never swim
It's the game I play, it's the course I curse
