lyrics

Her face is bleeding on the page. My heart is beating in its cage. My mind is wandering to all the old places. These scenes in my head are a blur of lonely faces. And is there an airplane landing in this room, or is all that shaking coming from me? Is there any hope buried in this chaos? Or is nothing "meant to be"? What the fuck does that mean? Minutes add up, and my words begin to rust. The hinges on my jaw shatter like all of our built-up trust. Guitar strings bend, in tension like our last days. I count the beats while you count the myriad different ways I let you down. I let you down. So in these notes I take responsibility. I just wish you could do the same for all the things you did to me. Now the strings break, and the tears cease. My eyes have gone dry from weeping. And the lids close, and I collapse, so tired from nights without sleeping. The sun sets, out the window. I lie all alone now on my pillow. The impression of your head, the smell of your body on my bed, will be gone, like you, in the morning.
