i am constant. i am a constant question mark.
i am sadness. sadness and fallen apart.
I'm just heavyhearted and sad, sad thoughts
I trusted you, but somehow you forgot
and in your eyes the stars seemed
cast down by rays of everything
the tone of your face
when i heard you say my name
you let me lay on clothes beside you
and i hollowed out my face to invite you
to fill the open space
but you made me a disgrace
i am constant. i am a constant question mark.
i am sadness. sadness and fallen apart.
i'm just heavyhearted and sad, sad thoughts
i trusted you, but somehow you forgot
i trusted you, but somehow you forgot
i trusted you, but somehow you forgot

train rolling through
my open wound
and my backyard is an empty
parking lot
and we at large
are living in our cars
and the sidewalk is lonely
so i move downtown but
everyone one around is
scurrying, scurrying, scurrying
away
from our five year old vow of
standing our ground in the face
of a hollow crowd
we would go down to the stream and build a log bridge over the creek. our fast and steady feet carving paved street.
chubby hands chasing autumn leaves fading into old receipts that scream
killed a man
killed the land
with our own defeat.
with our own conceit.
lost my footing in a web of empty face.
i know i was meant to be a body.
lost my footing in a web of empty face.
i know we were meant to be some body.
a body in a web of empty face.
a body in a web of empty face.
a body in a web of empty face.

don't think i am strong enough for this world
friends say its just an
excuse for the continued use
of this bottle as a shield for
my heart
a fragile kitten i couldn't
protect
a precious life i couldn't
accept
between life givers and life takers
where do i fit?

isn't that bad
but there must be more to be had
wonder where my heart fell.
must be down that wishing well.
and i find it hard to guard myself and i do
lose some time
with this love.
but i have found a place in my heart for you. and
i'm not ready to let go of this open wound. and when i
reflect on the color blue i will sink deep in myself
and reminisce on.
but i have found a place in my heart for you. and
i'm not ready to let go of this open wound. and when i reflect on the color blue i will sink deep in myself and reminisce on.
but I have found a place in my heart for you.
and I'm not ready to let go of this
open wound. And when I think of the color blue.
but i have found a place in my heart for you.
and i’m not ready. i’m not ready to let go. of. you.
