i wince my lazy eyes and wish it away
for its footsteps in this house do bother
and though i wake, its always the same day
because i forgave, but i have not forgotten
craziness sleeps upon my heart at night
dull and painless its blade has become
for i bled, but i am hollow now in the light
and though i fight, it'll never be gone
because i smiled, but i have not yet cried
foolishness holds my spirit as i lay
its arms cold and hard wrap tightly all around
for i know that i could never truly be okay
and though i repent, i'm still on the ground
because i fell, but to you i could never say
you cut the rope i clung to so freely in vain
and i fell, and you left--and here i remain
