The Big Loss

Knock! Knock!
Guess who's back?
I searched, I tried
Then I wrecked
I seeked the trail to the river
But something kept on holding me back
Spent my youth, spent my days
Then I saw it all collapse
When the credit's gone
They put the bullet in
So I say
I can change the shape of my skin
But not the weight of my heart
I can see them, looking like ants
But I'm not built to climb
So stitch your scars now
And pack back home to die
Only a live bait for the wretch
See, there's nothing left
To sell
I see you're still fighting
Tooth to tooth, blade to blade
Should hurt when you gasp for air
Unfurl! Onwards to black days
But I found a knife
That cut me deep
So deep that I broke free
I did change the shape of my skin
But not the weight of my heart
I could see them, looking like ants
But I was not built to climb
I stitched my scars well
And packed back here to die
Was the live bait for the wretch
See? There was nothing left
To sell
I'll put myself
In the bargain bin
There life goes
But I'll stay here on my own
And out there the sun's waiting
But not for me
Not for the lonely
After all those times intoxicated
I survived
But not my heart

Have you been to the places I've seen you in my dreams?
For just one moment we let go and got lost somewhere
The spider I crushed is dreaming
Laid beside my shortcomings
My eyes are closed in fetal position
Waiting for the explosion
Our childhood toys are sleeping
That broken-hearted sleep
In the drawers that we hid them in
And as much as we think that we are alive
We are what they dream and that's why
We break and wither
And tire each other out
I ran towards your voice but you've seemed like someone else
Then I took a glance at the mirror - it was me who was not himself
Do you feel scared that I'm not there now?
I felt scared with you
Maybe that's why I've been so fearless
I know it's ok if it hurts
When we can no longer break
We fall into garbage cans
And maybe you'll see me in a museum
Or maybe I'll see you when you look at the stars
I just wished a return to the dreams I had
When I was a boy
Those old neon lights and dusty theaters
It's night forever, June midweek
