Static calls
through a way old phone
What is there to know?
Aren't I here on my own?

Pixelated reverie
What would it be like
if things went differently?

Visitations limited
Once or twice a year
An animal concept of isolation
The tears feel obsolete

Am I supposed to miss you?
Cuz i'm trying hard not to feel a thing
Am I supposed to be breathing?
It seems like you've stolen that too
Cuz you're enigmatic
Keeping me guessing at every turn
And you're enigmatic
A mystery for me to learn
I thought I would know you
My lifeline from a young age
But the echoes from our voices
Don't ring out the same
Cuz you're enigmatic
And I can't say the same

You fill my dreams
Fluorescent nightmares
Engraved in steel

You're a shooting star
Through my mind
What is the world?
Are you here twice?

Panic attacks filled with your name
Yet you get upset when my anxiety takes over
A suicidal mind over a damaged heart?
But stars never fall apart

My pulse is skipping
A luminous heart in your palm
Crush it as you dare
Glowing dust and drugs to loosen the fall

In the confusion of trying to trying to lose you
I've seemed to lose myself in the process

Am I supposed to miss you?
Cuz i'm trying hard not to feel a thing
Am I supposed to be breathing?
It seems like you've stolen that too
Cuz you're enigmatic
Keeping me guessing at every turn
And you're enigmatic
A mystery for me to learn
I thought I would know you
My lifeline from a young age
But the echoes from our voices
Don't ring out the same
Cuz you're enigmatic
And I can't say the same

It's easier to hate you,
is it not?
But I can't, I refuse
I'm not wired for this

Narcotic pain
Superficial joy
Euphoric stress
Is it enough?

Why should I suffer your loss?
You should HATE me.
I've worked so hard.
It's SELFDESTRUCTIVE

Am I supposed to miss you?
Cuz i'm trying hard not to feel a thing
Am I supposed to be breathing?
It seems like you've stolen that too
Cuz you're enigmatic
Keeping me guessing at every turn
And you're enigmatic
A mystery for me to learn
I thought I would know you
My lifeline from a young age
But the echoes from our voices
Don't ring out the same

Cuz you're enigmatic
And i've fallen to the thundering rain
