Tears slip from fingertips
Words unheard, like the apology
We both know you owe me.
No, I don’t want to numb the pain, it’s mine
It’s all I have. It’s what has stayed.
It’s what I’ve used to mark the days of these past two years.
Well, let the tape record
Since this is nothing more
Than what we’ve rehearsed many times before.
New explanations fall out your mouth
Darkening clouds only offering
Shelter from the burn of coming too close.
Seems silly, why do you care if I get hurt now?
Well go on and run, are you finally done?
The game is called, it’s clear that you have won.
It’s never enough
You always come back for more.
And you drag me out, tear me apart
Left with wounds you only heal in the dark
Your touch will always leave a mark
If you’d ever stay around.
Well I sought for you in alleyways
In prescription relief, the back of Springfield streets
Where I hoped I’d see you in your old habit gown.
You lost yourself inside that flame
In pursuit of relief caused by what you loved.
You told me you could see heaven
I guess I wasn’t in there.
But now we speak through gritted teeth
Through cut wrists and sunken cheeks
You said something towards me
I almost wished I understood.
You took my razorblades
Said there’s no use
Now you’ll relieve my pain,
You’d be here to love me
Well where are you now?
Well go on and run, are you finally done?
You disappear along with the sun
It’s outside my window
If only I could look out
And you drag me out, tear me apart
Left with wounds you only heal in the dark
Your touch will always leave a mark
If you’d ever stay around.
And I write and write of awful things
My infected love of haunted memories
Your face follows me down the streets
I will always look for you.
Well go on and run, are you finally done?
The game is called, it’s clear that you have won.
It’s never enough
You always come back for more.
And I fall in love with the one next to me
And the promise to take away my grief.
I know it’s a lie
But at least he tries.
Except I find myself coming back
To this meaning that I lack.
But this is what you chose
At least we both know
In the end you got what you’ve always wanted.
Words unheard, like the apology
We both know you owe me.
No, I don’t want to numb the pain, it’s mine
