say it like a prayer
with your arms to your side
make no movements
this is your discreet Armageddon
make it lie like a politician
we need to make amends
to fuse this independent head of yours
your penchant for selfishness
has torn us into everything
try to realize that denial is made of truth
with all the lies you tell yourself
turned into ideals
i try to make something better
i'm sick to shame myself
for trying to fix you
from you trying to run away from me
and i can always remember
what you said to me
as you closed the door
circles only getting sicker
if you don't let yourself fall down.
and i'll remember to cushion your tumble
when you get caught up in your self again.
