It has become the norm
Waking to all day disasters
These spell casters
Chasing these witches is my bad habit
I've got to play the numbers
Mathematics

Rolling dice on every contact
In seconds in love
Fall in, fall out, step back,
Go off the tracks
Rendezvous, recuperate
Ruminate, learn
Get ready to jump back in
Yet again get burned

Become the tempest
Abandon the ship
At one with the storm
You’ve no use for it
Lose it, leave it, let it all go
Don't ever be tortured
By what you can't know

Hurricane on the inside
And stone on the out
Twisting bellows the sounds
The screams and shouts
Furious anger, foaming hindsight
To look back and see neither was right

How I was like child
And you like a ghost
It's the idea of an equal
That I miss the most

Now I am not
In any good place
And I have no business
To dream of your face
Once I was something
Now I am less
A pale horse waiting
To be ridden by death

All this is building
To some consequence
All of this has failed
To make any sense
Mad and cursed and mad once more
I glorified your beauty
I ignored all your flaws

I am burning to forget
Dying to forgive
I want you to fall
Through my mind like a sieve
For you to be gone
Like you never happened
Instead all my peace
My comfort lays shattered

I can't even feel
What I felt like before
How we can damage
With words stab and gore
I need to stop moaning
Pick up off the floor
Build me back up
Let me become more
"What ******* structure?!"
