Close for Casualties

Well what is this

Life I'm choosing to live?

Do I exist outside of this impetus?

What do I have to give

Why do I point the blame

You know I warned of this

But I still let you play

It's the same smile

Same name

I said and did it alone

You're the one thing that changed

Truthfully,

I can admit

If anything,

You still mix in these currents

Well no that's not quite true

No I didnt notice then

But now Ive noticed you

And the words are so irrelevant

If I could liberate you

These tangles I walked you through

But there really is no use

In shaking the stitches loose

It's the same smile

Same name

I said and did it alone

You're the one thing that changed

Truthfully,

I can admit

If anything

You still mix in these currents

I bleed

A contradiction of needs

You held so patiently but I just turned and burned it

Was it vagabonds or the vacancies that split my inch dichotomy?

That spelled you close for casualties,

Or the dividends that break amends ?

I tried to entertain within

A worthy rationalization

It's the same old smile

Same name

I said and did it alone

Not one things the same

Truthfully,

I can admit

If anything

You still mix in these currents

I bleed a contradiction of needs

You held so patiently but I just turned and burned it
