It's this blissful agony I'm scared I'll miss Apathetically forgetting what you did to remind me of this August, school is almost in session Which twenty-six letters did you use to break her heart? The writing is on the walls I'll learn through repetition Thankful that even the nights fade away It's hard to grow while I'm tripping on the family roots And you leave us to The hands in a god that you see is just Oh but that silver lining above your head (I'll burn that bridge, when I get to it) Is out of reach (Watch it crumble like the ash off a cigarette) I'll forgive you when you're saved From the two scarred eyes painted on your mask (Now your hands are stained with my blood) Your beauty is betrayed by the bottle They taught us what love meant today But I forgot that counting holes in the walls (Forgive me for calling this a murder) Our tight ends are frayed She pretends she doesn't see me Like a moth eaten family quilt I don't think she wants to see me Relinquished relations Oh God I hope she sees me I still feel fine I am begging for her stare Don't turn your back on me Just because I'm forgetting how to breathe So I pretend to be Intending forever A million smiles and a million lies Obtrusive thoughts of violence are peaking through my blinders on the third floor (This effort won't last forever) The downstairs neighbors aggressively stab at their ceiling (I said that I had relied on the sound) Our battleground is a play without satire This display is far from comical It's a torturous repetition (Of your voice) Of knocking, screaming, acceptance, and helplessness (Cutting through the air) I wish the weekends were seven days long, so I won't see betrayal again (And she looked back and stared) Oh god, oh god, oh god (And she looked back and stared) Is everyone this dysfunctional? I wished I had an answer But some choose silence over admittance (She replied with a silence) I wished someone would admit that (Unlike anything I've ever heard) I wished somebody would fucking tell me But instead all I get is misery without context (Unlike anything I've ever heard) Keeps me up trying to find the words to describe (Unlike anything I have heard) My broken heart that's repeatedly shattered then mended together with lies Lies, lies, a million fucking lies If their truths were alive, they'd hide like animals in a storm now we're drowning and praying for our right to breathe Just give me a stare I am waiting for your god-like stare I'm truly just frightened by the thought Yet I continue to surrender myself So I pretend to be Intending forever A million smiles and a million lies A million fucking lies

Who would've thought you'd come here Floating around on the fallback Masquerading innocence and preparedness Funny how this timing sets us off My drives never ended so late (Upholstery, smoke) Your silhouette in her place (It pulls me close) Silently shifting your gaze (Dark brown, wooden walls) Thinking of something to say Well just say it (They all sleep on top of red) Say it Say what you mean (They all sleep on top of red) Say it Savour the day That we stay In our place Just like sheep (Just a cowardly example) But I'll see The unknown (Just a cowardly example) Under violet light Just a cowardly example The rain runs down on the window Take one more breath then take me home

How many angels can sit at the end of the needle That pierces through the fabric of everything that I had once held In my life as a sadist, staring into my damaged reflection while All my impurities better found in the flip script Stay right here She said in a crackling cadence with her wide-eyed, ten mile stare Return to how I had met you Is one of her favorite delusional sayings repeated with less conviction upon my calm nerves Keep ringing the ghost line Too bad it's going through (The needle pierces) The tone in your voice says I (Into my heart) Should've left a message for you A vacant mind with room to hold more than just small angels In a delicate display of bone and blood and skin And a face that smiles whenever it deems appropriate To act as free as a ship alone in the Pacific waving a white flag In my dreams I have the chance to let fate happen instead of believing I had the choice to make a change Someone else steer me to The great wall of water created by a power more meaningful than me I tried to speak these words I had scrawled on this page (The needle pierces) But in this static delay (Into my skull) We're nothing more than a charade Forever empty, forever sinking Can you hear me drowning? Forever drowning in endless ocean I'm drowning you out
4.
I'll never forget That glare in her emerald eyes She's seething at the mouth I see her lips move; Reveal a smile that I'm not used to When I'm equipped with your weapons I'll find the courage to speak The room folds in on itself Like the heart of a wolf Tactfully dancing around confrontation It's what we take to the grave Carefully constructed from broken pieces Wear your heart on your sleeve This forever summer over And the arrival of an autumn Excites the pain of a fleeting joy Followed by the sun Like shadows on the asphalt The only thing that walked us home It's what we take to the grave That sets us apart from one another
