Give me some closure
The house is getting colder
Light a match and burn it down
I'll stay and watch it an older
Lose what I found
Let's hurry to the elevator
First one left behind is a traitor
And I'll believe anything you say
As long as it satisfies me
I'm taking sympathy for granted
And all the words that are demanding
Forever underestimating myself
So I feel better about someone else
Expect the worst
But let's not converse
Until I reason with the hurt
Some nights are starless
Unless the moon gets lonely
You can see it in the darkness
If you look closely
Blur my vision during the hallucination
I already can't tell
Between what's fake
And what's real
I'm surrounded by puppeteers
I've been dreaming of an exit
And secrets I won't admit
Tomorrow awaits
For me to negotiate
With what I've misplaced
I often hesitate on what I want to say
Try to avoid eye contact
I don't want to see the expression
On your face
My sense of humor
Is lying in a pool of blood
There's no where to run
I can't hide
I'm holding onto the suffering
Until it all subsides
I can let go now
The rules will be defied
We can end this opposition
I am not where hostility lies
I can give you the antidote
For the venom
And I'll be forgiven
If I'm not already dead
And loaded up in a coffin
To the hearse
That's going to the mausoleum
Following my friends
I'll no longer see them
But I'm too much alive
In spite of what I did to survive
Don't tell me how to live
When you're actually the one
Who's dead inside
