Southgate

It's so hard to close me in
And in a way it's wasted time
We were running out
Scared of falling out
Tired of breaking out
Tired of getting out
(I took a pen and I
Drew in your temple)
These designs are for you my dear
To alleviate your swelling tears
Would you even know if/
That I was here?
(I care, I care)
To watch your tears
Fall down like rain
I'm glad I left it all behind
The tattoos and the piercing
And teh everyday grind
I had the courage
We saw the arms race
There were threads
That stitched us all together
I'm washed away
Motion pulling
Forward, backward
You were calling I was distracted
