Svavar Knútur - Emotional Anorexic

Morning grows near, oh I wish you were here,
as I toss and I turn in my bed.
I long for your touch and I miss you so much
and the silence has torn me to shreds.

But even in longing, I still feel the pronging
of misery's poisonous claws,
when in your perfection I catch my reflection
and in it my numerous flaws.

Babe, don't be afraid,
you know I love you with all of my heart.
Please listen to me,
don't let those wicked thoughts tear us apart.

You're brave and you're strong, I am timid and wrong,
you're a diamond and I am but coal.
You're the moon and the stars, I am ashes and tar,
you're a nightingale I am a mole.

Babe, don't think that way,
these are the demons that bite at your soul.
Please, come back to me,
you're losing your mind and you're out of control.

Well, this is my curse and it keeps getting worse
as I can't hold these bad thoughts at bay.
So I'll whine and I'll moan and I'll cry on the phone
'till I finally drive you away.

And then I will ride with my deflated pride
and the warmth of the blood in my shoe,
'till an ugly old scar and a broken guitar
will be all that reminds me of you.

It’s hard to remain positive when your mind beats you down every single day.

hey ! i recovered from an eating disorder, depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts. you can too, i believe in you <3

[waifowo]

the fact that this has been my comfort song for the past 5 years and here i am back again

[amanda]

this song needs so much more recognition.

[zephamurray]

I listen to this song when I get really really depressed and it doesn’t help but I like to lay there and take it in and cry

[Kukuyoutube]

This will always be one of my favourite song of all time❤️☹️.

It feels like a beautiful secret knowing not many people know this song but I kinda also want people to know that there's this amazing song. You feel me? ❤️🌼

[joguevara]

I’ve always came back to this song, it’s such a comfort for some reason … even tho I cry to it every time

[Totorohamster]

I try so hard to take care of my friends, I check up on them and make sure they’re feeling well and getting enough sleep. And god I wish I could ask them to do the same for me but I have such a fucjing complex about being strong and cool that I’m too scared to ask them to check up on me. I’m afraid that if I ask them to take care of me then they’ll think I’m being a burden and they’ll get upset with me. I want to talk to someone but I won’t let myself talk to my friends because I don’t want to ruin anything. I love them all so much, I don’t want to worry them. Instead, I bottle it up and then tell the internet anonymously

i don’t know what to do with myself anymore. i’ve had depression and anxiety for 4 years and recently just got on anti depressants and anxiety medicine, but my eating disorder just keeps getting worse. last august, i weighed my highest weight, 165. i developed anorexia that november, and it’s currently june of 2018 and i weigh 108 pounds. no matter how hard i try to better myself i relapse and it’s hell. i feel happy and i haven’t self harmed or had an anxiety attack since april, i have a boyfriend, friends, a job that’s actually fun, i play sports, things that regular 15 year old girls do, but i’m not a regular 15 year old girl. i don’t know what to do anymore.

my sibling showed this song to me maybe 3 or 4 years ago and i’ve always looked up to them so much, this song honestly and wholly changed the way my brain works. this song tore me down and built me back up within 6 minutes. this song killed me, this song is the reason i’m alive. i don’t know how to explain how much i fucking love this song

[gimena]

I'm just waiting for it all to be over

[maximmq]

This song has been with me in my worst from the real beggining... Im greatfull to listen to this again, its been like five years since i started to listen to it when i feel down. This song is comforting in so hurtfull way but i still love it

[KONGNOyoutube]

[turkialghofile]

One of those songs that sticks with you.

[Gaucheness]

Such a masterpiece.. I love how the guitar beats are sort of like a weight that keeps pounding onto you. Everytime you step up you get pushed down never changing. It's constant and it just reflects the sadness and burdens so effectively

[calebdupree]

I’m really glad that I found this song because I knew that it would be a place for people to vent in the comments, and just reading how some of y’all feel, and relating to myself has really helped me get through some tough times. Even though I don’t know any of y’all, and none of y’all know me, I just wanted to say thank you

[Minokawaa]

A precious someone has shown me this song and I've been in love with it ever since

[Ali-pmyw]

I was fortunate enough to find this unmatched song, it has a great memory of a great love. It'll always remind me of her.

[deathmark]

I feel like my family is dragging me down we’re not a very good family there no trust at all and I don’t have barely any confidence to stand up to people cuz whenever I do I start to cry and it’s pathetic to cry in front of people because I feel like a hassle to them even though I’m the most normal one of them all I’m just really sad all the time mainly because I’m stuck here I can get out because of my age I’m 14 but I know and experienced more then I should have, I remembered this one time where there was this guy coming over to buy a trailer from my dad and I asked my dad how much he was paying and they laughed and he asked if I was his banker and then my dad was saying how even though I was 14 I was like a 40 year old he was saying something about me being something more then my older sister and brother but I was stupid to walk off and not hear it but I made me feel great because I always though he loved them more then me . Thanks for listening to me rant I gotta go now.

[fishcakez]

this song has gotten me through so much than anyone could ever imagine.
