Make Yourself Sick

We drove through the pass, like the day we drove in

Sitting in the back of the Tahoe waiting, headed east towards Spokane

I could tell you it was nerves, but my thoughts always get there first

You always know the worst

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways

Running towards the truth we never face

I wish I could forget every single place that brought me to my knees

but it wouldn’t be me

I wouldn’t be here

My body shook and felt like it’d tear itself apart, as I laid there watching all the passing cars

You can disguise the mistakes, but will the voice fade that got you here, where you are

The walls you build won’t protect your heart

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways

Running towards the truth we never face

I wish I could forget every single place that brought me to my knees

but it wouldn’t be me

I wouldn’t be here

The water here tastes nothing like back home and it’s beautiful out here all alone

But it feels as if there is hope and disappointment with every mile that passes by

And I’m still wondering if I

We hurt ourselves in the simplest of ways

Running towards the truth we never face

I wish I could forget every single place that brought me to my knees
