I've been a dead wall
I've made a lot of bricked mistakes
and I can fade like
a summer breeze forgot by name
still I relate polite behavior with a welcoming hand when I'm deserted
and despite what I'm told, I dipped my toes and found this water cold
so, what's wrong with my head?
there's something I don't get
repeating what I said
repeating what I said
and I could have listened
instead I'm stuck in this detrimental dance of dead romantics
now relive your steps, and relieve all your stresses through me
and dance on my toes till we die of still feet
because atrophied we can't leave
cause I would've quit, but I never really did
and now you know
the better way to go
so, take the better path
just keep what you have
stay your hands and leave my things alone
and I would've quit, but I never really did
...so far

I carry things
often of toxic beliefs
lately I fear I'm becoming something wrong
something I don't want to be
well, I expected much more of me
and so, now I will lay this to sleep
what a pity to be at mercy to all this flesh that I succumb
over and over again
it really does me in
my friend, I didn't mean it so
to say one thing and then go do the complete opposite
malign a bond so chemical, it redefines the nature of every smile and wave
there's nothing left to talk about
wait
abate
there's nothing left to talk about
but, that's not right
the punishment will fit this crime
but, first we need to understand what's yours and what is mine
what shame
to obtain
for one lay
maybe you were drunk or just too high to understand it wasn't right
just too drunk or just too high to understand it wasn't right for once instead
saving each pint bled
I will just be honest instead
prove me we should have met
cause we're living with what you did
