like a badge of honor
she screams her name
like it might mean something
this time
taking two steps backward
it's never the same
to repeat, repeat the process
certain i'm just playing
a fucked up little game
door's busted down
and there isn't a sound
but let's be thankful
for this time that we've shared
i'm certain somewhere
maybe some day i cared
but not today, no,
just wasn't meant to be
it's started raining
the truth slipping to my feet
a golden smile and
shiny white teeth
covered with the honesty
far too late and incompletely
too broken to be noticed
yeah, that's me
forgotten about baby
she's never far behind
a question mark in the corner
something lost, perhaps,
i never meant to find
but here she is
the silver lining
lost in moments
defining
like there was something more
like something was something
she would have swore...
trickled away
a puddle between toes
and it's sore and aching
and no one knows
she doesn't dream any more
hallucinations to differentiate
the horror and fantasy
so bittersweet, so perfectly
just baby and me
to think i would have held you up
see you rise to the occassion
tumbling down the stair
how i loved to watch you
before i became you
and once again, didn't care
what more could i ask for
promises broken
love's a staple in the floor
a flower on a coffin door
what more could i ask for
what more.
