Did I leave Daz behind Because he’s still on my mind And it’s so 2003 To think he’s still into me Blink-182 poster behind his head As he’s sitting on the bed With that smile that begets the name The world rocked and I was not the same In our bond And I abscond But I take something of his air With me as a prayer I say into the sky Please let him love the way I lie And he looks at me, I look back Does he know I’m having a heart attack When he pulls a funny face And his love gives me a place To reside Do I need to hide The heartbeat That simply fell at his feet As we walk out of the bar Or when I picked him up in my car Or when he ran from me I chased him down so he might see I mean what I say when I say Eternity
Why do I love the thing I hate He spits out; I made him wait And we’re at odds again And he isn’t even my friend Anymore He closed the door So why do I wait outside in the freezing cold Some would say I’m being bold But one thing is the story told Must pave its own way to the forest Am I only being honest Or do I live the lie What it is like to die I ponder it in bed at night Coz the darkness absorbs the light And I’ve slept better since I got this lamp The Himalayan sea salt absorbs the damp That used to make its way into my bones Now I’m split between alternate homes And everywhere I go I fray But I’m really doing okay It’s just this uncertainty Set up like it’s her or me And a just divide is remote I catalogue the things I quote In my phone, in a book, on a ripped page I burn some incense and strike up some sage Until I’m all but zoning out High on lies and all my doubt And tomorrow won’t remember All the hope I felt engender On the cusp of a riverbed What was it that guy said That every dog must have its day But mine is over so I say That I’ll let it be and come what may I’ll leave the grass you made me stay Upon for a moment or two It is an eon this dream of you But the grasp is getting weak And now we don’t even speak And you can’t hold back what won’t cry I am not afraid to die Because I saw through the whole scene And now it’s like I live the dream With two brand new eyes Awakening, the best surprise
