It's been a good week
I didn't even turn the cross upside down
The way that your smile changes
Keeping me calm in my summer denial
But I am in love
The feelings come and then the feelings go
But you could feel me
As I took my last breath before the winter snow
I still feel your sadness
Growing in every lie
Drown me in tainted blood
More useful as a sacrifice
I still hear your tears
As they fall to the concrete
The rain from four years
Spills out as we bleed.
I spent so much time thinking about the way things change
But after summer I'll be the same
Thinking of the windows
Wonder where your heart goes
Thinking of Heaven and Hell
Hope my Dad's doing well
I wonder if I only have one life
And how I've wasted it being alive.
Think about the suffering
And what it means to be a human being
Think about the life I've lost
Think about how much it cost
While I worry about the restless sleep
Worry about the pills in me
Think about closing my eyes
Think of what it's like to die.
It's been a long week
I turned the cross upside down
I think I'm lonely
Sitting here in my summer denial
But I was in love
The feelings came but they never let go
And you could you feel me
As I take my last breath before the winter snow.
