Five Foot Box

from Red World DX by Friend Hell

lyrics

Go on, grab me by the neck
And shake out my loose brains
Grab me by the hair
And rip it all away
Grab me by my teeth until they become straight
Until they become straight
Until they become

I'm not melting out of love
I am melting out of fear
I assure that I am scared
And very much am here
Cause my feet are planted
My head rings atop my shoulders
My sweat runs against me
I feel things I can't get over
Like how you know my name
But never my real name
Like how they know my real name
But I tell them not to say
Cause I will stay in closets until I turn 18
But when I turn 18, will I really be ready?
Or will I be at the register, telling her her change
And she will look around, like what did I just say?
And she will correct herself, making sure I hear
That I am what I'm trying to avoid as I steer

I moved out of my apartment, it was filled with knives
And pictures of guns I wish I had
And now I'm in a new one
It's filled with broken glass
I can see myself in pieces
And it is looking bad
I can't put myself together
And I get cut in the shards
When I see a failure
With nothing in their cards
I look up into the sky
And I don't see my star
I see my heart in the dark
Lit on fire from afar

Go on, grab me by the neck
And shake out my loose brains
Grab me by the hair
And rip it all away
Grab me by my teeth until they become straight
Until they become straight
Until they become

Growing inside my five foot box
I'm 5'5
I'm growing up
And my body will break before I break through the box
And I will die before I finish growing up
