Quiet Company

Days go by so slow when nothing's there

This hatred's baring down on me

I'd sell my soul for anything

I told you once, I told you I was scared

For all you knew I'd felt this way

A second in my final day

And I see you at my door

Your shadow clouds across my room

I barely knew

I barely knew

I gasp and shut you out

If I let you in you'd squeeze your fist

Around my chest

And leave nothing left

Weightlessly I'll tell you of my mind

A spirit with this dream to float across the sky

With pale blue eyes

I conjured up a life so full of lies

I broke the rules of truth – it was an awful sight

With sadness eyes

And I see you at my door

Your shadow clouds across my room

I barely knew

I barely knew

I gasp and shut you out

If I let you in you'd squeeze your fist

Around my chest

And leave nothing left

Take this path directly to my bed

The coldness of his breath is pushing down my neck

And through my chest

My indecision only let me stray

A plain and simple word that sees through all my hurt

My vision blurs

And I see you at my door

Your shadow clouds across my room

I barely knew

I barely knew

I gasp and let you in

Let you breathe in all my pain so I can live again

Oh
