My Beliefs Sift through All That Discourages When I am Adjacent To Happiness

dON'T MIND

don't mind me I am in mourning
askew from all the dying thoughts
I shift my weight to avoid the puddle of us
 we left too many doors open
and never walked through em'
too late to form a betterment of love
It's so cold but I don't want to go inside

(hook) And I am banging on the white walls
do you hear me, can you hear me now
and I am banging on these white walls
do you feel me, feel me now

I thought I saw you, changed directions just to turn the image
into something I wouldn't mind
passing shops on Fifth Avenue
pretending there was something I could afford to buy
still your reflection through the window bore a hole in mine
your ghost is with me
and for just an instant I didn't want to close my eyes

God if you can hear me, rip out this soul
replace it with another lover and a bottle of wine
I know I'm alone, even with I forget his name tonight, but this house is cold
and I'm tired from the ride
so God if you can feel me, of course not, give me all you got
until it fills me, untie this knot
so much has already been wasted
and I'm running out of time.
