there you go again
blowing up at me
you accuse me of not trying
you blame me for our disconnect
but have you ever considered this?
how many walls
will you have to break
before you finally come to terms
with my indestructible fortress?
how many lines
will you have to draw
before you finally come to terms
with my complete lack of honesty?
you've forced me onto this pedestal
and I have no intention of saving face
A little vulnerability
feels like fire on gasoline
my skin is burning like hell
can you smell
my charred flesh?
I doused myself and lit the match
can't you see I did it all for you?
why can't you see
this is me being vulnerable too
...hello?
anybody there?
oh it's just me in here
talking to my own shadow again
great acoustics
behind these walls.

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"
