Another year around the sun in search of Anything to pacify the numbing belief That irrespective of how our time was spent Or what solace we were graced by friends It all amounted to nothing in the end You'd always watch me as I'd ideate Diazepam and dulling ache Open eyed, I stare at the mirror And drive my teeth straight through my tongue It's so torpefying knowing That one day your life will be forgotten In the spaces between my discomfort and grief I had nothing to offer to help you to sleep No question ever conjured up Enough detail to reconstruct The trust that you felt I had broken Shallow cuts for doubt to soak in Now I don't think of you in apathy (You'd always watch me as I'd ideate) Now I don't think of you in apathy Now I don't think of you in apathy (Diazepam and dulling ache) I don't think of you at all Open eyed, I stare at the mirror And drive my teeth straight through my tongue It's so torpefying knowing That one day your life will be forgotten And I can't help but feel like I'm to blame But if it hurt that much then why did you stay? In the spaces between my discomfort and grief I had nothing to offer to help your sleep Surrender to bed, silk scarves at the wrists An apostle for malediction Yarn for the tapestry, woven in anger Rage for the sake of it, stuck on repeat No heaven ever equal to your skin But no Hell like the wrath that lay beneath Open eyed, I stare at the mirror And drive my teeth straight through my tongue It's so torpefying knowing That one day your life will be forgotten You'll be forgotten But if it hurt so much then why did you stay? But if it hurt so much then why did you stay?
