Landing the flip
It doesn't matter
The music plays
In the background
I spend my life
The same every day
New person
Different day
Same me
I'm always just
Breaking broken

You can tell
When someone cares
It's obvious
But when someone doesn't
When they don't care
At all
They're able to hide it
Sometimes
But if you pay attention
It's glaring
And it makes you feel like ****
But whatever...

You told me of a time
When you relinquished it all
The feelings you had
Because you felt you had to
To not get burned
And now you do it again
There's nothing I can do
You're convinced
And so one day I'll cry
Or die
And you will be happier
And you won't be burned
Except you won't know

You wouldn't be burned regardless
Not with me
You'll never burn with me
I care too much
I wish you did too

Little, little
I feel so little
Sad, sad
And also sad
For if patience was
What patience is
She would not get
So mad, mad, mad

Weak, weak
I am so weak
Dumb, dumb
And oh-so-dumb
For if patience was
What patience is
I would not feel
Like ****, ****, ****

The intimacy ends
And normalcy returns
Then something weird happens
The world is flipped
And I'm still on my feet
What happens next
It seems as though
I'll never know
My body is on fire
My guts are burning
Everything looks normal
But it feels wrong

It scares me to focus
On the task at hand
Because it feels as though
We're all in quick sand

I am the enemy
I can't get out
Of my own way
I am after blood
And sweat and tears
My metallic red blood
And my sad tears
I constantly hurt myself
Every chance I get
If now is it
I speak the truth
Two more short lines
With four more words
Words only for you:
I'm winning the battle
The battle with myself.

And one more thing
Although you physically cannot,
You can trust me

And what good am I
Really,
If I can never help
The woman I love most
In her greatest hours of need?

None,
None at all.
