"I faked it" you said, getting up from the floor
another attempt to nullify the pain from the war
with yourself
in your mind
with all the gathering fears
you drink Drano 'til it comes out of your ears
but you know, in your heart, it's not right
and you know, in your heart, that I'm right
You said that he loved you and now he has gone away
but if love's just a literary construct, it's all the same
but you've been doing your summer reading and going insane
Alone for the day
but the worst of it'll pass away
the worst of it'll pass away before you know it
We're playing this game that we cannot survive
and c**ture has rendered our actions contrived
and you sit and you think 'til you've come unwound
but if you can hear my voice, take comfort in the sound
Alone for the day
but the worst of it'll pass away
the worst of it'll pass away before you know it
You said that he loved you, but now he's nowhere to be
found
see, if love can build you up
then it can tear you down
another attempt to nullify the pain from the war
