I never knew that everything was falling through,
that everyone I knew was waiting on a queue,
to turn &run when all I needed was the truth .
but that's how it's got to be,
it's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way,
than stay and see the smoke
&who's still standing when it clears.
let's rearrange.
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage,
just say that we agree &then never change.
soften a bit until we all just get along,
but that's disregard.
find another friend &you discard,
as you lose the argument in a cable car,
hanging above as the canyon comes between.
&suddenly I become a part of your past,
I'm becoming the part that won't last.
I'm losing you and its effortless,
without a sound we lose sight of the ground .
in the throw around,
never thought that you wanted to bring it down.
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves.
everyone knows I'm in over my head.
with eight seconds left in overtime, she's on your mind.
&everyone knows she's on your mind .
