This is (Not) Where I Leave

This lyrical set is about a relationship with addiction.

Progress

Where I put you

In my mind

You’re close by

Thinking

I’m afraid of you?

Debts paid

Bribed away

Give water to the hot and thirsty

Surprised by others shocked you do

Ignore the ones who don’t notice you

They don’t see

And

Always will be

Is

Their loss

Left

Wilted but kept

Desired but disgusted

Reasons I’m still here

While others are gone

Overwhelming popularity

What a joke

Down

How I thought

You’d throw me

Under the bus

Bad Things

You Came Back

I did; you said you knew me

Chose me

Blow me

Up

Right when

I expect the cobwebs to come loose

You show up

Say hello with an embrace

Proving the old haunts aren’t there after all

God

I am grateful for you

Because before

Backward

Rejected

Again

Never

Feels

Bad

Unwanted

Without desire

Forward

You watch me

From behind

Walking, walking,

Walking away

Looking toward the Full Moon

I turn to you

With longing

You run to me

Grab my face

Kiss me

The only way to get air

You love my body

For hours

Until it’s brightening

And the window

Is closing
