In The Process

Curled like a kitten,

given up on giving up

all of your useless used up lives

holding on to hopeless

oops ther's love and meaning you could find

if the words just come out right

if the wirds just came out right

maybe you'd smile

and your sad

rocket shaped eys

always aiming somewhere

empty and away up in the sky

towards a vacuum where aconversations always kept inside for when its not okay to hide

for when its not okay to hide

and you have to smile

we were alone you let the tears out

you'd been saving them for me

to solve like crosswords

with a pencil because i do make some mistakes.

remember how i tried to fill myslef

with ideas you'd hold dear

and in the process left behind

a part of me that kept ypu here

that kept you here

sleeping in the kitchen

at the table

with the papere

as a pillow

all the bad news sinks right in

justn like the black ink

leaving headlines on your skin

and dreams of losing all your friends

how you'd stop missing all of them

after a while

we were alone you let the tears out

you'd been saving them for me

to solve like crosswords

with a pencil because i do make some mistakes.

remember how i tried to fill myslef

with ideas you'd hold dear

and in the process left behind

a part of me that kept ypu here

and its just one more minor tragedy

you'll add it to your smile

and in the process it becomes

a part of me you lefty behind

you left behind

the part of me you left behind (3x)
