Keep It Near - Brooke Bentham

I left my mouth to become yours

I left my mouth to become yours

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Feels like I’m not soft

Like I’m trying to be

Go ahead, call me

And leave me left out

Even my mother will tell you

I’m not good at affection

Don’t know where I learned that

But I fear it in myself

And when it calls me

It feels like something I know

Vacuous, black, and old

So I keep it near

So I can feel something real

Like hell

But I do feel

I left my mouth to become yours

I left my mouth to become yours

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Every day falls apart

It’s every day nothing

When my head feels heavy

And I’m falling asleep again

I don’t know what to do

It feels like I say that a lot

But I really don’t

Oh

It’s been a while

And I’m in and out of existence

But I got sweet darkness

He lays in my lap every night

And I look in his eyes

I left my mouth to become yours

I left my mouth to become yours

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Call it off again

Falling in and out again

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh
