Sediment

You settled everything with yourself and left me to settle my own mind

So gather around if you ever cared at all about my past and what it means to me

This is my life story so far or at least the important parts

And you and everybody will see

That no matter what growing up is never easy

And I'd love to help somebody else

But truth be told I'm writing this to help myself

Because I got so much extra weight and I'm getting real tired of this sediment ache

I have the ghosts of my past settled down in my bones like sand into gears

And I don't know much longer
