lyrics

Wait.
Lay down slow.
The people we’ve been
do not resemble who we’ll be tomorrow.
I wish you’d go away.
I wish I could escape from you
and the things you do and the words you say
but I can’t.
I probably never will.
You’re so ingrained in me
that to destroy you is to destroy myself.

Sometimes
it’s easy just to speak.
The only time I don’t think
of you with him is when you’re with me.
But it’s poison to the touch.
It’s only temporary.
It’s a drug; it’s a fix; it’s a crutch.
But I don’t know how to swim.
You might disagree
but I think I’d rather float forever than sink
