Leaving the country, leaving you behind,
i hope that in your head,
your brain keeps ticking,
like every minute without me is a nightmare,
you can't breathe, you feel the weight digging in,
your lungs are collapsing,
i look better than you remember,
than you've imagined in your mind,
falling, folding, kneeling, holding.....

Leave me here with my remarks,
It’s a fool’s playground,
This world,
You all look the same,
Sound the same, move the same way,
Play the same games,
Brush me away, save your distaste for the next day,
None of this makes any sense,
Your defensiveness,
A little problem you can’t fix,
A little pain and you get your kicks,
How funny is it really?
Abandoning what you can’t control,
What happened to fighting for what you want?
You just sit back and watch it blow past,
Emotions unfamiliar, you’re suppressing,
Do you really think it doesn’t show?
What keeps you keep up this charade?
I’ll stay indoors and wait for you to burn in the sun,
Maybe someday you’ll discover,
Why it is you suffer so discreetly,
Not an enviable place to be,
How does it feel to deprive yourself?
I couldn’t understand anyone,
With your mentality,
Dysfunctional, fucked up,
How does it feel to be looked at like that?

I was looking for someone to waste away with,
Oh but you wouldn’t do, you wouldn’t have it,
Fooled me for awhile, but hiding’s never easy,
It all comes out after time,
Like a curse you turned out to be,
just my luck, it never changes,
So here’s the end, hope we never meet again,
No I’m not pretending, I’m really fine,
An apology would be nice,
But I would never expect so much of you,
All I really wanted was to find someone,
I could fade into, blend like the sand,
There was a home for you here,
but now there’s no room, I’m full of substitution,
someone show me the world in all it’s blazing glory,
all I need’s a smile, it can last me for awhile,
I choked on the smoke when you burnt out,
I’m not on your side,
It’s a choice you made,
I don’t have to live with the regret,
How much relief did you find?
Did you get gratification from seeing me break?
