You had gotten better
At pulling child locks
To all the pills you only used
So you could feel a lot
But sleeping turned to sobbing
And screaming through the wall
At men you thought had robbed me
But who weren't ever there at all
Deep inside my skull
You pressed your fingers into mine
But I'm not one for psychics
So I gave you all my mind
The mirror came and cut me
Ripped my head clean off my spine
You said it sounded troubling
But more like a waste of time
I know I took a lifeline
But this time I'm going far
It nearly took a lifetime
But I smiled
Before I crashed the car
She swims below my eyebrows
Crawled on through me like disease
But I'm not growing sickly
Just closer to a sleep
Getting up we lean to leave
Run fingers down my keys
She's tired of conversation
But she's not tired of me
I know I took a lifeline
But this time I'm going far
It nearly took a lifetime
But I smiled
