My roommate is vacuuming the apartment I'm thinking about distances past to present, empty to overflowing, shattered to whole doctor your wounds are bleeding again and I don't have the proper training we toil and toil beneath the gaze of an oblivion too much sweat on the brow to take the time to ask why my heart is a runaway train my brain the penny on the tracks there's no such thing as non-civilian casualties hungry is as hungry does it's just the nature of these lives our carrot on a string I thought I caught a taste once only to bite my own finger It hurts, but the pain is just motivation to keep on living and all of those lessons and truths she whispered in your ear on dreaming nights are still the reason your heart beats the way it now does wake the hell up perfect does not exist and you are going to be fine fix the roof you are going to be fine
