the frustration upheld by you crawling all over my skin
it's my own fault for leaving the window open and letting you in
as you climb my wrinkled ladder and whisper into my ears
you know i'd rather hear your silence than see you disappear

the crowds assume that i just talk to the walls
reality being they just can't see the ghosts
but i understand their perspective for it's not rare
for me to hear you speaking but feel like you're not really there

it's such a toxic relationship and yet it persists
because we've fallen for the poison from each other's lips
and with every taunting piece of dishonesty
you fall in love with a new part of me

the lies don't seem to do anything but attract
we've grown vines and now nothing holds us back
we just cling onto our words though they're stolen from the wind
and we're tied to each other though we should be tired of hiding

and as your shadow lingers on my back once more
i recall the feeling of your closeness before you left through the open door
now uncertainty overpowers me and a new darkness takes place
it was neither your or my evil that tortured this mess
