Puking Platitudes

I was brought to my knees by our last conversation

I was calling your bluff like you'd loaded that gun with a flag

I could not stop puking platitudes

'Cause I couldn't give you up or keep yours down

I wreaked of desperation how did you stand the smell?

And I could feel the shame I buried under all my anger

This was my last chance.

But God forbid I would show some understanding.

I'm just scared I'll be left alone

I froze.

Let the mutiny fester.

Petrified like some statue walking a plank.

'Cause I watched them chiseling.

They carved my body out of rock

then had the stones to ask I bend

to hear their accusations

I could not contest the fact that

So I'll toss and turn and find a way to overstate the way I feel

Because god forbid I would show some understanding i'm just scared That if you all leave

That I'll be left alone.
