Idle Eyes How this became as I fought for my causes to hold you in my arms Shut out is like shut up without an argument without a drink Every bit of bad is worth a thousand goods That imperfect fluff etched into my soul Expectations with no chance of exhilaration Thoughts of what would have been gave way to an...
