A bedside bottle of dark A vague cape of decision eating its' path to your heavy heart Why are we asking why? Did you wonder as you wept? I watched you cry some time ago You conveyed to me your conviction You told me through your eyes that you were being eaten slow And the helpless soul I am, all I could do was bear to listen We slap your icon around like a stick We swing your body around like it's a pillow full of pills and we'll spill you out While we hope that you'll slump back to us with one good hit We are apologies waved by sinners in the wind We are commandments split open with a pin I held your hand with my heart We weigh in the same, though it should not be this way With my ear pressed against the recieving end I can hear the rhythms when they end I wish you would have wished for better... I wish you would have wished for better...
