I never said
Just what I wanted
And I never went
Just where I wish I wondered
But here I am...
Im here and Im okay
You cant tell me just how I feel,
If I’m transparent,
Then let me transition through you
And Ill learn so much..
Sitting next to you on this metro bus...
In the sticky plastic seat as rain patted the window next to me
I fell asleep..
I want to sift sand through your hands
And climb fire escapes
So you can be closer to the stars
And I can be closer to your heart
...My stomach hits the floor
I wish I wasnt here
I had nowhere to roam
Ghost-like motions through an empty house, I am alone
We knew it wasnt ever alright
We knew it wasnt ever alright
Nostalgia! Nostalgia!
You always corrupt me, your timing isn’t well-planned
Maybe... maybe...
You’ve come just when I
Thought my life was alright
You remind me that I’m wrong
My empty eye sockets with no site
I’m loosing my grip, with my head in her hands
I loved my old life, but I will get over this
I’ll be just fine, I’ll keep telling myself.
I’ll drink to each loving couple I see kiss
I’ll mock happiness, I’ll mock happiness
I’ve been doing the right things
With no wristwatch to tell me the wrong times
I am a self coerced mild-sociopath
Piloting a future with introspective flaws that
Accumulate to corruption as a cure, corruption is the cure
Corrupt the cure and start over fresh.
