Spilling Sanity

Force you to finish Stealing moments From your memory bank Once I’m done moaning Branding my nightmares I’m collecting scars Like toothpicks In my heart Salt licking wounds Pulling my sweet tooth Think it’s going to keep me away But I still have the taste for you It’s still too soon to honor you My mind’s still fighting Trying to wash away the residue But I can’t stop thinking you’ll pull though They warned me I’d lose me That I’d have to scrub away your imprint Drain my veins of your excitement Clothe my soul with what you left of it I want to stop the train Before it rails off its tracks Build a bolder to withstand the pain I can pile my problems in heaping stacks I want to save the magic The memories I keep safe Still telling myself it wasn’t all a trick We just intersected at the right time and place
