We stand arguing in torrential rain

And I'm okay with that

Knowing that these tears

Could most likely just be from this weather

I've been called a loser

Just sort of stagnant in life

It all ended with a slap to the face

and a get-your-shit-together

Fair enough, fair enough

Now I'm left standing within this storm alone

You know, just the usual

and I can't help but wonder

How things would have been if I actually tried

Tried holding these friendships together

Mending these issues instead of calling it quits

But now I'm a lonewolf

These emotions have gradually diminished

and I think I like the suffering

This state of isolation...

Atrophied, but I think it's still there

Albeit seemingly shrinking

Might as well discard this heart

like a cheap carnival prize

Ephemeral like spadefoot toads

Now rotten and covered with flies.
