I tore our pictures down Like how a coyote bites off its own leg Trapped in dissolution I wasn't going to pretend it was all Okay Trapped in the crumbling skeleton The carcass of us, a victim of time Why did you let it go so far then? When it was already eating the flesh of mine? Instincts told me of your disapproval Instincts told me you were ashamed But tell me, former lover, Why did you smile, Every time I called your name?

Torn pictures
I tore our pictures down Like how a coyote bites off its own leg Trapped in dissolution I wasn't going to pretend it was all Okay Trapped in the crumbling skeleton The carcass of us, a victim of time Why did you let it go so far then? When it was already eating the flesh of mine? Instincts told me of your disapproval Instincts told me you were ashamed But tell me, former lover, Why did you smile, Every time I called your name?
