Verbatim

Exhaling smoke into the vest above the stove

There's forces working against you that you don't even know

And since the summer started I spend most of my time alone

But that's alright, at least he's not home



And I can hear your tires scream as you accelerate

But after that it's so damn quiet I can hear a pin drop from a mile away

And sometimes I miss everything so much I can't stand it

I can't take it, it's toxic



I watched the room fall silent while everyone just averted their eyes

And your words, they just hung there

As you gathered the strength to survive



You said "If you keep trying to feign ignorance

I swear to god you'll never see me again

And I'm not interested in your misconceptions

I don't think you've been paying attention"



And it's a bad joke that I don't want to hear again

I'm tired of wasting the years just holding my breath

Maybe that says something
