Avoidance Lyrics by Kita Alexander
The bodies, the bones, the seeds that I’ve sown, all of the moments I regret
The bottle of hurt, the pain I deserve, it’s they bury me or I bury them
Bad, bad nights in my failed dreams
I like to keep them where I can’t see
Maybe the things I’m avoiding don’t really want to destroy me, maybe they’re waiting for me
They say face your fears but every time I do I cry tears
Every time I show up I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Avoidance, yeah that’s one hell of a drug
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Yeah, I’m collecting scars like souvenirs
And every time I show up, I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Ahhhh, avoidance, yeah, that’s one hell of a drug
My anger, my jeans that ripped at the seams
All of my long-lost high school friends
One step at a time, that’s how I get by
Yeah, I’m running marathons in my head
Maybe the things I’m avoiding don’t really want to destroy me
Maybe they’re crying for me, crying for them
I keep running and running I don’t know who I’m becoming, I want to stop but I don’t know when
They say face your fears
But every time I do I cry tears
And every time I show up I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Avoidance, yeah that’s one hell of a drug
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Yeah, I’m collecting scars like souvenirs
Every time I show up I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Ahhh avoidance, yeah that’s one hell of a drug
Yeah, I’m neglecting therapy I think I know what’s best for me
‘Cause if I open up the wound I know I won’t stop bleeding
Smiling through the roller coaster highs and lows I know I’m breathing
They say face your fears but every time I do I cry tears
And every time I show up I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Avoidance, yeah that’s one hell of a drug
It’s all smoke and mirrors
Yeah, I’m collecting scars like souvenirs
Every time I show up I show love that’s ‘cause I sweep it under the rug
Avoidance, yeah that’s one hell of drug
Cry, at least not tonight
I try not to cry
At least not tonight
I try not to cry
At least not tonight
I try not to cry
At least not tonight
I try not to cry
