You’re that feeling that burns
every time you’re filled, not spent
we go back to learn
It wasn’t what I meant
The strong promises and lines
that couldn’t be broken, you bent
among all the go around rhymes
It wasn’t what I meant
The absent truths and stains
of every little word stolen, you lent
only to borrow pain and play
It wasn’t what I meant
and when you finally understood
phrases couldn’t be ripped, but rent
now there’s that silent separation
It wasn’t what I meant.

You’re that feeling that burns
every time you’re filled, not spent

The strong promises and lines

The absent truths and stains
of every little word stolen, you lent
only to borrow pain and play
It wasn’t what I meant
and when you finally understood
phrases couldn’t be ripped, but rent
now there’s that silent separation
It wasn’t what I meant.
