lyrics

I want it out of my mind.
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t
Even see me.
I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been
Digging my nails in.
While you eat blueberry cobbler in my kitchen.
Pay no attention, ask no questions, are you even here?

Such high hopes.
I knew I’d let myself down.
Because the waiting and the texting,
Makes projection
so much easier.
Complexity avoided
Keep it stuck in ice
and touch yourself to sleep at night.

No eye contact.
I can’t tell if we are
momentarily connected,
disappointed
that it breaks instead of bends.
The cost, the cost of hope is learning that
Everything ends
and you have to start again.
