lyrics

I'm writing to your doubt two hundred miles away.
I've been wondering lately when the right words would come
because my skin's been bubbling over for the past couple months,
but the flame would go out and I'd be left in the dark again.

The scene is painted perfectly, seared into my brain,
and the coping mechanisms aren't at all what I thought.
Can you really stay composed when a man calls on his own bluff?
Can you really operate under the assumption he won't?

I thought about what's in your life
and understood where you shut off.
The well went dry, and I went home.
You pined for something you'd lost, since forgotten.
Breathe air from your lungs, ball your hands into fists again
to stand and face this in your own;
the only one who cared at all.
Your whole body was worn too thin.
They never wanted to know in the first place:
the fox gnawed himself from his own goddamn trap.

And I saw it coming
as soon as your light shut off,
to keep us in the dark
until you could crawl out.

Stigma says that I'm a failure. I've been holding out for this,
and you've assembled brick walls around yourself
to prevent reliving when your knees collapsed over again
every time you're asked to explain yourself.
Shame can never rectify my guilty hands for time I've lost
from penning punctuation that you'll likely never see.
It's just, the words aren't good enough for a bullet hole behind the ear.
There's blood in the snow — a gun in the snow. I'm sorry.

Don't forget what you came for.

Don't forget. Don't forget.
Don't forget what you came for.
Commemoration or exploitation? This letter was written with good intentions,
I swear.
I swear, but can any of it absolve us from a life that's bound by losing one?
