You're allosteric babe
You changed the way I keep
With no defense
It must've been so easy

Nothing but respect
For the words you said to me
There's not enough of everything
To keep anything forever

I don't function like I used to
And maybe thats alright
I was spinning out of control
My heart just felt so light

Heaviness returned
So rapidly when you spoke
Of what I don't deserve
It left me an understanding
Of exactly who you think you are

Now I'm grounded to the spot
My heart is heavy in its box
But no more energy is lost
For something that wont last

Allosteric and present
Maybe I'll function properly
When the memory
Dissipates

Two lights
And as I pass
The first shadow scares me more

A projection of the past
Onto the bare cement
Where I've been
Changes where I'll be

I'm walking the way I've gone
So many times before
The nights feel long
And you aren't here anymore

The evening is quiet
And I wish I had friends
But I'll settle for the people passing
And think upon your absence

So many firsts not so long ago
For you of course
But me and myself
Found it all to be new
Quite new to be true

New to be rejected
The empathy returns
The first break is the breakthrough
Leaves you wishing
They didn't breakthrough

Two lights
And as I pass
The first shadow scares me more
I hope
Where I've been
Won't change where I'll be
