you whisper my name in the quiet land
i try to hold back my smile just for a while
like you do when you make me laugh
and i convince myself that I'm also fun
but you never say anything at all
and nothing makes you break the wall
so i wish i could see right through
i wish we could talk a lot more
you know i hear you talk about everyone else
i rarely forget a face like theirs
so you tell me everything about your fakest friends
but your face never says what you're really thinking
and i have to read your mind even if you’re not near
if only your love was a little crystal clear!
cause you’re not the one that needs reassuring
me? i always hoped I’d meet someone who would
not just use me for success
but want something else from me
deeper even, darker even
maybe someone who just
had the idea of laying for hours
under the ceiling fan
and let the noise coming from within
bury the trash that we keep saying
you can punish me for dreaming so loud
I’ve always been thinking way too much
but I try to manage through your hell
you can try harder
