Dislocate me from existence Put me with the stars Far enough away to see the distance Into darkness without reprieve Under burned down trees and their shadows I do not need your voice to convince me of things like worth or the color of my blood These things I am sure of My heart writes me letters about these things Forget about what we said we were Remember I was alone in your company Your words filled with hot air Boiling your words Evaporating anything permanent Liberate our nerves from any feeling we might of shared Untie my limbs Stretching out the presence Drenching my skin with freedom Calming the gooseflesh upon my bones The well in our chests hides secrets Ones that your words never pulled The well filled with tainted water So I added whiskey And liberated your grasp I will forever forgive you Blending business with pleasure Drowning yourself in an empty well Dragging feet into the desert of our yesterdays choices

Independence
Dislocate me from existence Put me with the stars Far enough away to see the distance Into darkness without reprieve Under burned down trees and their shadows I do not need your voice to convince me of things like worth or the color of my blood These things I am sure of My heart writes me letters about these things Forget about what we said we were Remember I was alone in your company Your words filled with hot air Boiling your words Evaporating anything permanent Liberate our nerves from any feeling we might of shared Untie my limbs Stretching out the presence Drenching my skin with freedom Calming the gooseflesh upon my bones The well in our chests hides secrets Ones that your words never pulled The well filled with tainted water So I added whiskey And liberated your grasp I will forever forgive you Blending business with pleasure Drowning yourself in an empty well Dragging feet into the desert of our yesterdays choices
