Hollow Bones - Altruistic Lung lyrics

She's so totally in love with me But I am too much of a f**ing coward To be anything for her Because I am too afraid to find something worthy of love in myself And I am being smothered Crushed by my own inabilities, insecurities, instability, crushed And I am being smothered Crushed by my own inabilities And I'm afraid to move around her without calculated action She just might figure out that I want nothing more than to love her back And I do, I do I want to feel that The truth is that while she's looking for ways to help calm the storm In my chest I'm looking for ways to keep her at the end of my Outstretched arms A welcoming sight indeed, but a trick nonetheless A welcoming sight indeed, but a trick nonetheless And I can't, I can't take this This constant back and forth like waves crushing rock And I am being crushed She can't see me the way I see myself It will break her It will....I will break me And I am being smothered Crushed by my own inabilities, insecurities, instability, crushed And I am being smothered Crushed by my own inabilities And I wish, I wish I could live in another skin Someone else's maybe, but anything other than my own Because it's getting too tight And desperation has me longing to leave this shell behind LEAVE THIS SHELL BEHIND (Leave this shell behind) Shed it all and leave her here With the image she and I created of me
