Letras
Set the table for two but I'm eating alone
There's a weight in your chair where you carved out your throne
It talks when I'm quiet, it breathes when I don't
Wears my skin like a costume, swallows everything whole
I never asked it in
It splintered the door
Now it answers my phone
And it sleeps on your side of the floor
Grief eats first at every meal I make
Takes the biggest bite of every day I fake
It lives inside my chest, it learned my name
I don't carry grief grief grief, grief carries me to the grave
Woke up to my reflection but the eyes weren't mine
Something hollow behind them, something starved for time
It wrote my eulogy, signed it with your name
Now I haunt my own body like an unmarked grave
I never let it in
It was always here
Waiting in the walls
Growing all these years
Grief eats first at every meal I make
Takes the biggest bite of every day I fake
It lives inside my chest, it learned my name
I don't carry grief grief grief, grief carries me to the grave
I thought I'd swallow it whole
But it swallowed me instead
Now I'm just the house
Where grief rests its head
I'm just the host now
I'm just the shell
Grief wears my body
Like a living hell
Grief eats first and I get the remains
Scraps of a life I can't name the same
It carved out a home in the pit of my chest
I don't have grief anymore grief has what's left
Set the table for two but I'm barely here
Just grief wearing my face for another long year
