im as forgetful as half your conscience
and im this close to being full of you
there was a moment in time where i didnt freeze with the coldness of touch
im as welcoming as the mat outside your childhood home
come in come in come in
the numbing experience of this everyday play pretend
i used to look up from the pews but now i just keep my head down
think of you next to me, pray your sins away
wash off the grime
calling you was my biggest crime
i pick up the phone to let you know youre all mine
if you ever mean anything you say call me back but for now just hold your tongue between my teeth
bite it off let you bleed
for once ill let you wash off your well earned greed
im the bags under your eyes
im the prayers you say after a lie
im every bead in this rosary
you never use
you only call when theres no one else with a short fuse
i only let you because im fond of this abuse
am i just one of your play pretend friends
am i nothing like i was years ago
did i get too soft with time
have i deluded myself into thinking this is love
is it ever this painful
or did i mix it up
you only want me back to prove a point
that youre everything you pretend to be
that youre everything and more
im just the latest ego booster
im the high shelf liquor to get you full of yourself faster
theres nothing else for you but the words i have to say
youre nothing and everything like everyone else i talked to today
you only miss the feeling you never missed me
i offer the resistance you need
for your never ending quest to feed
from the people around you
from peers to close friends
from the girls in your phone that never hang up
they love you like youre some sort of god
i see through you whenever i hear your voice
theres a tremble that nobody else picks up
theres that desperate little boy
who want nothing else but the world under his shoes
he never got too far, now you just want me to lose
