I can tell you're ripe
Killing me with kind
So don't mind if I just unwind
While you **** a smile-
But baby, I'm not disarmed
You make quite the cocktail
And I paint quite the picture
You don't quiet down in spite of me
And I don't pretend that it doesn't hurt to breathe
This is the way things must be
My own demented version of healthy
Your one-dimensional reality
And the silence makes three
So go ahead, do what you need to
Look up, forth, back, down but never through
I'll just slouch and smoke till I get the joke
And count the times you never blinked
Closer to my skin you were
Till things took another turn
Now I'm prying my eyes
And crying your thoughts
From heart to spine
Fingertip to elbow
Gives a whole new meaning to
You had me at hello
