Left alone wasted and broke/

This life has become a forest of trees/

And you are just a falling leaf/

A deterrent path that leads to nowhere/

I’ve become so cold, numb and my face of stone/

Weltering and weathering away in the winter’s age/

Looking back at all the times I tried to re-engage/

A friendship derailed from the railroad tracks/

The embers sparked into our lungs too fast/

Turned our faces red and we caught that disease/

Spread and spread the hatred till we were incapacitated to our knees/

Changed the locks and locked up what was left of our azure hearts/

While the warm happiness faded in the steel breeze/

There is no reconciliation- we are beating a dead relationship/

I remember reaching and reaching while our ship sank/

Swimming in the ocean of former lovers hands/

While “Best friends means I pull the trigger…” echoed throughout the land/

We were such a tight wound triangle, the three of us separated in sand/

Removing yourself from the situation you removed me in the process/

Let go of me and take your promises so empty as a knife in your chest/

The ice has won over the sea and forever frozen our memories will be/

It’s fifty-fifty and you only had a nickel for every one of my dimes/

Suffocated and coagulated you just don’t do that to a friend/

And get away with still being close to their ex//
