Piledriver
(Walters)
Stacking years of thoughts on top of dusted shelves
spending so much time alone, you learn to be yourself
I hated you when you burned my bridges viciously
but I've learned to take for granted others' animosity
I'm tired of keeping count again
and sick of loneliness, but still afraid to let you in
careful of those spiteful whispers sideways
it's tough to lose track when you've little left to say
Don't you stare me down unless you really mean it
I'm tired of sunken low-brow attitudes
nothing left to hide and nothing to say, so self-revealing
private notions always guide my choice to be misleading
I'll drop those mirrors if you stay
just like I did with her, a year ago this May
I'm leaving matters up to you, so I don't have to...
I swear I brought a present just for you
