Closer than the clothes on your skin, wearing thin. you never tried. sleeping under back yard stars, in present tents, in your defense, i wonder why you never said good bye? resenting the letters. pretending forever. how many times can this be true? you make it sound so easy. (it's hard to dig deeper without you to see through) presenting those pretentious tenses as presents on wednesday. thank you. alone all along all alone. say goodnight or say goodbye. candles light lies to line your eyes. broken words to parted lips, just like last time. until i find you, choke you with your own tongue, and watch you slip away. timed lines hide in empty eyes. this seat you see is empty holds a hole for, you to look for, when you come through. you're face to face within me when you come through, and remember, now you've gone too forget false ties. i never have had the time to let you go. keep killing with a canvas car crash into continuous call time for empty signs. behind sight, fighting for time. the end of another december, and another second passes. don't try this time. we can't rewind. i can stay away, if you can stay awake. i'll figure it out, and bleed you now, give back your heart. tear it apart and let you down, you'll see the seasons now. don't forget how to hold your affectation so proud. your lies are too loud, never pretend to feel again. because you can't laugh last, if i stab you in the throat with the knife that you left in my back.
