I’ve been pacing

And feeling wasted

For seven days

And came around

To the cemetery gates

That sit outside of your house

And If I make it

But couldn’t say it

We only stand

To crawl back down

And watch the cemetery gates

Became a part of you now

I’d be better off

Getting off my knees

These nights alone

Can’t keep swallowing me

Make myself

Somebody else

Make myself

Anyone else

Take my patience out back

Put it in a body bag

Laid to rest

With all the mistakes I’ve been keeping on my breath

Like a photograph

Without the exposure

I’m the only one too sick to notice

How do I bring nothing into focus

I’d be better off

Getting off my knees

These nights alone

Can’t keep swallowing me

Make myself

Somebody else

Make myself

Anyone else

I apologize

For what I’m not

The spine I haven’t got

My stomach tied in knots

The way my presence

Rots the room

It’s like my heart’s in two

To feel the distance between me and you

I’d be better off

Getting off my knees

These nights alone

Can’t keep swallowing me

Make myself

Somebody else

Make myself

Anyone else

Make myself

Somebody else

Make myself

Anyone else
