I've Lost That Lovely Ceiling Lyrics

It's like lying in my coffin

With nails between my fingertips

So before I even rest

I can start hammering them in

Because I'm not able to start resting

Until I unclench my fists

It makes me wonder why we dig

These shallow graves where we exist

It makes me think about the epitaph

Of everything I wish I did

I wish I asked you what you felt

The last time we talked about

What it was like to live

Without the will to live at all

Without the will to live at all

Without the will to live at all

I feel like I'm standing still in sand

Watching wave after wave of you bury my hands

Lost in the sights

We have shared these sunsets and these nights

Dotted lines on the road are the constellations we call home

Why can't I ever be the person I want to become

I have lost that lovely ceiling

I have built on top our love

Now that you've withdrawn your support

I know I'm not enough

I know I'm not enough

I know

Alone in the basement with my doubt

I am still locked out

Until I wear them in my skin

Until every phrase is branded in

Until I can't remember how I felt

She said despite my sweet heart

I have these bitter bones

And even with my love she would rather be alone

That I was warm to hold

But cold to the touch

And despite my love

I could never be enough

I could never be enough

I could never be enough

I've lost that lovely ceiling I built up

I cannot reconstruct

The memories everything is corrupt

I've lost that lovely ceiling I built up

Alone in the basement with my thoughts

After you said

I could never be enough

I could never be enough
