Crumpled up on the floor of the shower
Hope the neighbors aren't home
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
Like the photographs hung up
Of tangled up bodies
On my old kitchen floor
The faces come flooding in
Soak up the reasons why
We're not that close anymore
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
AND I JUST
BLACK OUT
IT'S WHAT I DO
TO SURVIVE
LIFE'S GOT TWO
YELLOW LINES
AND I FELL ASLEEP
DRIVING
Your heart screams the words
Your mouth finds their shape
"I'm not gonna die here"
The glass cuts your feet
As you walk away
The picture gets clearer
It's a house up in flames
And you built your own cage
Just so no one could hurt you
If there's nothing to lose
There's nothing to gain
That's just something you learn through.
