I'm always tripping in the dark
Over conversations
Making small talk about our
Lackluster relationship
Facebook statuses
About Moving out
And back in with our parents
While we sit alone in our rooms
And pretend to study
Still waking up early
And Irishing our coffee
With a lack of abandon
Our ship is sailing
Straight into the brick wall of my imagination
And we've been sinking
Into the ocean of our deepest darkest thoughts
To keep out of the commotion of life
Recently
I've been purposely
Stepping on legos
To find a piece of emotion still left in me
Tying knots in my stomach
To keep me from
Hitting the floor
Exposing my cheap skin
That you could is paper-thin
By the blood-filled word count
That trickles out
Have you ever felt like the siding of your house
After enough time the color just gets washed out
And you'll paint yourself brand new again
Just to be worn down under your cheap skin
