I don't wanna be another person on your list of almosts. I called you out on good intention. I sacrificed my own discretion. But now you're impeding my sense of self and now you pretend that you're somewhere else. If only we could peel off all our skin to fix ourselves again. Then you would trust that I'm still here. I'm still here; I promise I'm still here. I keep hearing voices telling me to leave. Those voices are me. I don't think it's ordinary, but neither are you or the lies you undo. Places, pictures. Our hearts align at different times but distances were trivial as long as we were both alive. Faceless faces never felt like anything compared to yours; compared to mine. Complacent in everything. It's as if I met you yesterday even if our times are gone and even if you fell for them. It's as if I met you yesterday. I'll never let it go. I'll never let you go. I lost my way home.

Can we wait another year? This all seems so foreign to me. Don't be sorry for my loss; there's nothing you can find. What am I supposed to say? It's fine; I'll be okay. Where's my home now? The bed is made but I'm never sleeping. I feel you here. But the door is locked and you'd mislead me So that I'd think You never left and you're on your way back. Every time I think of all the bridges that we burned through disagreements over shit we never learned I can't help but think that there was more I should've said to let you know you let me down but we were silent, instead. Where's my home now? The bed is made but I'm never sleeping. I feel you here. But the door is locked and you'd mislead me So that I'd think You never left and you're on your way back.

Waiting for you to take back your indifference. An idle disposition won't let me be leave my house. Why do I get so nervous? I'm starting to protest this state of mind. The silence will eventually consume me. I'm tired of calling you late at night because I'm feeling dissatisfaction. I would do anything. Why do I get so nervous?

i feel i fucked by losing you you had one foot out the door and another on its way in i should've listened to the silence that echoes through our poor decisions old words fall apart but most of all i just hate that i still want you it's all your fault is all i know i can't figure out how to let you go our bodies touched, now we're fucked i should've seen the pictures growing old i should've caught you on the times you told me i was never right old words lose life pushing back our memories has made them all come back to me we don't reach far it's now perfectly clear that this goes full circle it's all your fault is all i know i can't figure out how to let you go our bodies touched, now we're fucked i should've seen the pictures growing old we grow this way don't stray away it's all your fault is all i know i can't figure out how to let you go our bodies touched, now we're fucked i should've seen the pictures growing old

i used to think about loss as unconditional but your absence is an absence with condition i used to think we never went and our stagnant state was permanent but your impermanence haunts me every day i feel like i never got to process but what's to process there's not progress and no hope for anything will you answer my calls why won't you answer my calls assess my body and drain my energy my anger isn't all i've learned to hide from repress the lights on broken nights i'll live on even if i have to live numb

i'm counting every second of every day of every year relying on the time i'm wasting stealing words from verses of all our favorite songs arranging all the lines for when we'll never talk i'm inclined to accusation but there's no one to accuse except for untouched instruments in this empty room the sound of silence deafens me; it glorifies the vacancy that tends to complicate thoughts i'm falling short of sanity; is this even my mentality? what exactly is telling my lungs to breathe? slowly we die for all of our lives and i'm not scared for that at all slowly we die for all of our lives we embrace the words until we fall slowly we die for all of our lives someone paint these empty walls slowly we die for all of our lives embracing words until they fail to comfort our hearts any longer it's nothing shy of speculation to be making these implications slowly we die for all of our lives and i'm not scared for that at all slowly we die for all of our lives we embrace the words until we fall slowly we die for all of our lives someone paint these empty walls slowly we die for all of our lives
