take me around and around
you don't listen to a word
the sound

come onto me
I don't want to listen
move around me

I don't want to be

stop taking me to places I feel so empty

all you do is sit next to my skeleton

call me
still I feel more distant

I'm not your compass
you can't carry me around
to use me when you're missing

leave / leaving me feeling / down / down

the more I try and speak
I only get shut off

treat me like paper

burn me into ashes
