okay the distance between us 
lies in-between a thesis
i think our differences meet 
when one of us stops believing 
i’ve walked around with lesions 
wondering what’s got me bleeding
talking on and off with all my demons
showed me all my secrets
recently it seems to me
my reason be where all the leaves went
calling on the cold to bring the heat
had only left me freezing
keep me, if you need me 
in your heart, if mine were not to beat then
in the deepest parts of all my art 
you could connect the pieces


so if it’s gone you never had it all along right?
i’m in that zone where i’m attached to what i know

leave me lone i’m entrapped inside my own mind
i been known to bring my habits through the door

so if i let it go, it come back and it’s mad at me
i’m not the one to leave my mattress on the floor

if all i’m shown in actuality’s a tragedy
i’ll bring the traffic to the road 


i mean, it’s all a shift in perspective 
if i’m the head on top my chest 
then how’d i get this necklace
when did i get so reckless 
i slipped from my acceptance
i keep a list of my regrets 
i been neglecting
if time is the weapon of death
i’m out of seconds 
realizing i’m not at my best
i been projecting
regardless, if i sent it
& i meant it, then you’ll get the message
partially a target
part of me can’t ever stand corrected


if it’s gone you never had it all along right?
i’m in that zone where i’m attached to what i know

leave me lone i’m entrapped inside my own mind
i been known to bring my habits through the door

if i let it go, it come back and it’s mad at me
i’m not the one to leave my mattress on the floor

if all i’m shown in actuality’s a tragedy
i’ll bring the traffic to the road

traffic
