Lie To Myself Just For You

Submit myself to willingness
I take from you what I will
Destroy yourself with innocence
Secure that for which you'd kill
No one should be half a world away from me
I shall let no excuse
Control the places I should have been
Remove whatever corrupts your senses
Forget your troubles with a selfish grin
I wish someone would listen to me
Checking out from hotel sorrow
Driving into the biting breeze
You had me at your very hands
Now I'm cut down to my knees
I wish I could find myself for me
Hear the transition as you lie awake
Keeping the noise from sad so low
Walking away from wonder
Remembering is forgetting, didn't we know?
I want something just for me
The art of growing up
Something that has been so horribly lost
The we I used to depend on
Taking my life with pain, pressing the cost
I wish someone could hold on to me
The slaughter of feelings
The sadness of you
This simple disaster destroys me
No matter what I choose to do
Try not to save yourself
You used to be the reason I took my breath
Contracting lungs so wonderfully
I felt the love inside the warmth
You broke me down so beautifully
I wish I hadn't lied for you
The quiet things all you know of
The feelings that you love to hate
These words for which I write to you
The little possibilities life will create
I wish I could keep my feet on the ground
Capital letters and heart-crossed promises
Letters that scream forever and always
Terms of an agreement I never signed
Terrible sadness for the rest of my days
I wish you could see me now
I lied for only you
I took my time lying for only you
I took my life and threw it around for only you
Time took me by the skin, tossed me under
Keep my thoughts in my head
And my feet on the ground
In case this ever happens out of dreams
In case I'd rather be dead
Closed eyes and roaring sound
I lied for only you
I took my time for only you
I lied for something so destructive
Shaking here as I pretend soft words
Echo into forever as I sit here
Your smile that crashes, your whisper that disturbs
