I never wanted this distance

This distance between myself and the rest of the world

Unanswered voicemails, the cursor hangs anxiously

Waiting for words that never come

Pages filled with scraps of life imagined

Reconstructed like the act of a murder scene

I don't want the baggage of things that are left unsaid

Somewhere in between we've lost ourselves

Keep our cards close, it's how we wear our lies

Together but we are alone

Bridge of memories that ends in death cycling like cover flow

Why are we trapped where only shadows fall?

How do we belong?

Punching holes in myself when there's no holes left to cut and regret does not absolve

It's all falling apart in my hands

It's all I have

Choked up

Bled out

Waiting for tears

Will they come?

Further our hearts

Our rendered voice

Across the world

Still the tears won't come
