December

So long, we’re leaving December
I’ve learned to breathe underwater
What’s that? Forgiveness?
I have given enough
Slow down, it’s been years since the panic
I’ve twisted a vein to keep the toxins in
What’s next? Reasons?
I have given you mine
I have given you more than your birthright ever
I have given you up…
I promise that we’ll fight again in the new year
Lights out as we return to our darkest fears
So what now? Confusion?
I can’t live in the past
I have given you more than your birthright ever
I have given you up…
I’ll fall back, and catch my breath
Your precious perfect verse, stopped making sense
Forget everything, forget how I made you bleed
I’m nervous and wasted
Stop there, I’m naked
I have given your love to another hand
I have given you up
Enough of this faking
Stop and I’ll let you leave
Oh precious virgins, outside every night
I feel fine
