drowning
American
you’re twenty-six living in New York City in an apartment by yourself with indisposed thoughts as company you light a cigarette on the emergency stairs outside your bedroom window and you think to yourself “is she broken just as me?” and so you take that one last drag you’ve taken away seven minutes off your life and those seven minutes could’ve been used to call her back but instead you light one more cigarette until tomorrow comes and the day after that and the day after that

what became of her was a mystery it seems that she lived in someone else's dreams in a pretty long wedding gown where her thoughts were nowhere to be found she said her vows and closed the door in front of me who would have loved her more but if your heart was talking to you you’d realize it is me you’d realize it is me.

You live in a sick fantasy where the only people are you and me but the dreams were caught in the webs we call travesty

She brings the rain And I can’t hear a word she says In the silence that fills my heart She brings the rain
