if i kept you up all night would you tell me what is right?
if i dragged you to the beach, could you stand to look at me?
just let me leave when i leave
so you can't see the way i look at you.
if i screamed your name or i burned down your house,
would it make you pleased if i choked on blood?
if i hurt you all night long, would you tell me what went wrong?
if i lit up all your notes would you still despise me most?
if i kept you up too late would you tell me what you hate?
if i told you from this stage that i would act my age,
would you let me go when i go
so you won't see the way i looked to you.
if i screamed your name or i burned down your house,
would it make you pleased if i choked on blood?
if i hurt you all night long, would you tell me what went wrong?
if i lit up all your notes would you still despise me most?
here's to waking up to shame.
don't you see me leaving?
is this what it's like to be dead? balancing on the wire between birth and the ending.
this i understand. so i press pen to paper. this is my letter. this is a crime scene.
