kayak jones – matter lyrics
[verse 1]
my skin was steel, you made it rust
and i just can’t drink this off
hoping that it gets me through today
carved into my skin, i’m just a fragile little kid
i’ve been branded by this
my self-portrait lacks innocence
[chorus]
you keep saying that i matter
but it doesn’t make me feel anything
just stop saying that there’s next year
’cause i don’t think i’ll make it past today
[verse 2]
i was holding my own
but then your fingers traced the cracks in my bones
you said, “just open up, kid
then you can make yourself whole again”
[chorus]
you keep saying that i matter
but it doesn’t make me feel anything
just stop saying that there’s next year
’cause i don’t think i’ll make it past today
[bridge]
it should have been me
laid out on the concrete
i have to leave this body
please, just remember me
[chorus]
you keep saying that i matter
but it doesn’t make me feel anything
(i’m sorry i was born this way)
just stop saying that there’s next year
’cause i don’t think i’ll make it past today
(you won’t remember me)
[outro]
my skin was steel, but now its rust
i’m giving in, i’m f-cking crushed
you just couldn’t even care at all
but maybe i’ll get over this
and maybe i’ll grow up from it
but all i keep thinking is it should have been me
it should’ve been me
