Ravaged skies Rain
Did you forget
Have you forgotten
Liar
Did you forget
Cause it’s not over yet
Cheat
The digital reads
20 to 2
And the radio is screaming
Static
Rather burn you than love you
But i won’t be fooled
Into dreaming of parks
That breathe
Instead
I’ll have sweet nightmares of you
These days are over
I’ve turned the page
And burned the book
Charcoal circles
Around your eyes
No regrets
Right!
Pour shame all over us
Harden into a crust
– – – cement – – –
Forget the glamour and
Mumble a jackhammer
– – – under your breath – – –
Hide your face in the curtains
Better unsaid, so close
And it rolls off the tongue
Almost
The world expects the pose
Perfectly natural
– – – loosen up – – –
Smearing wet concrete
And swearing you’ll never be
– – – caught – – –
At your weakest, etched in stone
And we’re frozen here, peeking
Almost
Sweet talk
Caffeine
Make contact
Up to my neck
I confess in quicksand
"but it’s so easy for you"
"there’s always one thing"
"do you have something to tell me?"
"say something"
"anything"
I’m warning you
I’m warning you
I’m fucking you
I’m warning you
"relax"
"it’s just a phase"
"you’ll grow out of it"
Believe anything anyone ever tells you
It’s not funny anymore
It’s thing you hate the most
The thing you hate the most
The thing you hate almost
The best of us puking
The rest of us not doing so well
You can tell by the way we look over your shoulder
Watching for the next big thing
Caffeine in the blood, caffeine on the brain, bad well water
Set off a chain reaction, a desparate set of principles
I wish we were lonely
I wish we were boring
It’s so much easier
You’re driving and I am your backseat shadow
The radio keeps playing
The radio keeps saying ‘Nothing lost and nothing gained’
But if you don’t like it then leave
What if you won’t take it from me?
I can soothe you
I feel your heart beating
I hear your soft breathing
