I’ve got to go
I’ve got to run
I’ve got to get myself out of here
I’ve got to move
Got nothing to lose
‘Cept your tireless abuse
My heart’s your little captive
(Chained to your numbness, /
Chained to broken promise, /
Chained from my crazy mind, /
Chained to our losses,)
Yet if
You extend out to me
I’ll give up gratefully
My body aches
This is what it hates
Only my world shakes
Your empty words
Your stares that curse
Pained lips stay pursed
Thought these were true
The thoughts of residue
And now I’m stuck with both of you
Can I cut it out
Maybe slow it down
Anything before I drown
I hoped for more
To settle some score
Go back to what we were before
What I had expected as I’m no longer rejected
Now our relationship’s defective
