grendel Lyrics

Spent most of my childhood alone

Chasing my tail and walking on a tightrope

Out in the fields

Catching grasshoppers with my hands

I didn't know anyone

I guess I didn't smile enough

And I didn't have friends

Cause everyone was scared

Of me

I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders

The axe in my back left me black and blue

To this day

Looking in through the window

Light shines out onto the snow

And I hate how you talk

And I hate how you bite back

I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older

Thought I was a monster, I grew up a soldier

I'll never be a man like you

You used to say

I'd watch you watch me with those hollow eyes

Every night

I'd reach for you through darkness every time

I was blind

You're my lighthouse

You're my island

With the lights off

Made of silence

I'm tryna find you still

I'm overcorrecting now that I'm older

I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders

The axe in my back left me black and blue

To this day
