The Ground

I love you like the ground

Under my feet but you're never around for good

I need you like a pulse

Written in blood

Feed it into my soul the cure

And the longer I'll stay the harder I'll fall

I'll never get better but at least I'll be taller than you

You were all I ever wanted I was never good enough

You were eating me alive

I was letting myself be chewed

I feel it in my bones

My body is failing but I'm too high and numb to know

I feel everything all at once

It gets easier but it never does

I can't feel my knees

I wish I'd never met you

I used to be sweet turning sour into you

I'm growing into you

I love you like the ground

Under my feet you're never around for good
