Slept On from Palimpsesa by Mal Devisa

I ache to be held like the last family heirloom left on the shelf
You were my first cigarette, don’t tell my mom, I’m trying to forget
I don’t want to be strong, I’ve been scared all along
Who would want to be strong?
They will try and take the skin out of my songs

And I don’t know how to explain it
But I know we’re gonna be alright
I don’t, I don’t know how I’m gonna explain it
But I know we’re gonna be just fine

Is this how it ends?
I’ve slept on myself like a bad bad friend
This isn’t how it ends

And I don’t know how to explain it
But I know we’re gonna be alright
And I, I don’t know how I’m gonna explain it
But I know we’re gonna be just fine
