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
