Waste of Time

Let me waste my breath Scream this at the top of my lungs Until my face turns blue You'll never learn I'll never learn And I'll never disconnect this bad habit You need me like a a druggie needs his needles I need you like a bullet to the head We existed once We exist now Just crumbling apart until nothing is left So many years spent In obidience, biting my tongue until it bled Of wonderful laughs and bliss Memories that are inseperable to my heart But what we have is headed for the grave Where it will lay it's head and rest in peace This friendship has reached it's expiration date Unraveled with time like an antique rug You're the one pulling the strings, kneading the threads apart I'm the one trying to sew it up on the other end Stabbing and pricking my fingers till they bleed Working in vain to stitch this friendship Stitch this gaping hole, splattered in blood from these hands That have worked hours, days, weeks, and months To fix this while you unravel it Down to nothing but the single threat that made it. I'm wasting my breath and I'm wasting my time To salvage a friendship That wasn't friendship
