You can't define what loves you
It seems too hard to find
The answers that were next to you
All crumble without a sense of time
 
If all that happened was true
Then how do you make peace with it?
A counterpart to madness
Is the treatment of resentment
 
Fallin apart it all goes away
Longing for the next scene
To the next holiday
You made a resolve into a fragment of sentences
The clues that were lost, now deep vain embedded
 
You tried so hard to live
But what good is it to lie?
I find it easier to pretend
That the longer I live the faster i die
 
It's hard enough to talk about
But I'll make it clear
The clarity I fight through
I can find it now that I am blind
 
This can't make you.
I crawl back to sleep
I tried my best but left it
You make it hard to breathe
The waves crash lies beneath you
My faced soaked from raining eyes.
