Just a brittle smile you put on my face

Can’t reach out to me in confining space

Far too cold, you can’t make me understand

Reaching out of the dark

Pulling the ground from under me

Spilling all to shed your killing guilt

It weighs me down to drown me

Makes me wonder why, as you state the facts

And provide me with what your statement lacks

As the evidence speaks the truth to me

Reaching out of the dark

Pulling the ground from under me

Is this how you make yourself feel free?

Because it does not work for me

Is this how you rid yourself from the pain?

By leaving me alone again

You’re leaving me to hide, leaving me to die

Just a brittle smile to put on my face

No extended reach, no confining space

No one there to make me understand
