Compartmentalizing characteristics
considered to be contrived, collecting sighs.
Carefully compiled to compliment your rolling eyes.
As certain as everything circles back,
Collapsing, causing chaos.
You couldn't be calmer now,
as you carry me through the crowd.

We'd find comfort in embracing each other
and telling each other lies, each more concise.
Words duck and dive until our bodies collide.
Then suddenly everything honest
here's A ghost, a witness, a voice from the distance.
You cower now.
Is this what we were warned about?

I'm not sure how this ends yet
but I know just how it starts.
With the fast and final beating
of an undetermined heart.
Take an empty breath,
breathe out loneliness.

Disappointment hides in apathetic lies,
it's much better to smile.
It's much better to smile.
Disappointment lies in our pathetic lives,
it's much better to try.
It's much better to try.

I'm not sure how this ends yet
but I know just how it starts.
With the fast and final beating
of an undetermined heart.
Take an empty breath,
breathe out loneliness."
