Break. Fall. Disappoint.

[EmptySoul]

So we're left with silences

Empty gaps in these empty conversations

Let's exhange stiff hugs

While all I can think

Is that despite every line we've blurred

I still need you.

 

It was different when I saw you

Through the misting rain

In a Save-A-Lot parking lot

It was different when I kissed you

This was supposed to be forever

But I'm falling apart

And love has been bled and thrown

Ruined by mistakes and mistrust

Insanity and rumor

We never even got off the ground

And all I can think

Is that despite the oncoming destruction

We were supposed to make it.

 

You've got the weight of the world

In every kiss you give

You're begging me not to break you

Not you, not this time

You hold on with a desperation

That scares me

You want everything

I'm not a savior

And as you mouth the words to every song

That reminds you of you and me

I'm shaking at the thought

That I just keep breaking

And every time I fall

I'm taking

Another one of you

Down in the wreckage

Down in flames

With me.

 

So shaking lips

Kiss the metal of the gun

I've got memories of every time I've disappointed

The irony is this'll be

The worst of all

Leaving every one of you behind

With a bloody stain on these summer days...

 

-Empty.
