Slow Burner

A compromise
I steered her wrong
Held up to the light
A see-through song
A see-through smile against limitless lungs
Can I bear the lie?

Make Do

Gone like every truth that you hold
Songs made to fit an echo
Soon enough I'll let you down
Just like everyone else up to now

I won't wage a war
With you keeping score
You wanted more
And you deserve more

Poems like surrogate emotions
Videos, to let you know I have some
Soon enough I'll let you see
Just how little faith you should have in me

I won't wage a war
With you keeping score
You wanted more
And you deserve more

Be a man to her
Be the man to hurt

And I'll fill your heart
With useless art
It will never start
It will never start

Make Shift

Rumpelstiltskin

Weighed down by inhibition before the day was set
Cut out every part that held my silhouette
Pulled apart by indecision and potential regret
With every single outcome that hasn't happened yet

Turning in her head

I still sing our songs
I still sing them one by one
In a voice I put on

This is all there is
This is all I left you with
It's too much to forgive

And I'm mimicking the motions
This is the glow gone bad
I'm a shameless promotion
She's a lonely hearts add

And in her selfless devotion
She sees solutions blind
Like every single outcome that slips into her mind

Turning in her head

I still sing our songs
I still sing them one by one
In a voice I put on

This is all there is
This is all I left you with
It's too much to forgive

Turning In Her Head

You tried to wait
You tried to show me
You could relate
You’re on my side

And in your way
You think you owe me
A price to pay
That’s unsettled 

Sure and sure enough

And so decades 
Begin to own me
I lose the dates 
I lost the time

A slow decay
I lost the glow of you
You couldn’t relate
I’m on your side

Sure and sure enough
