What Was

This dysfunction
A remembrance
Of a paranoid
Jolted with disagreeable twitch
Disproving every point
That lies beneath
Isn't this what you always wanted?

Shake from your position
In the stone garden
Comfort
Isn't a
Regular friend
"The more you hurt
The more you harden"
We've heard this lie before
Neither of us care any more
The hate's lost its bite anymore
Addiction is a way of life
Whose lost here?

Overwhelm yourself
As the oceans roll over you
We were never able
Shade yourself from the blue
We were never able

Stop this unconscious killing
"A poster boy for the clinics"
Even if I could
I'd never fall back into you
