Circling

Sometimes I wish it could drown my past
I can see myself well at the end of this glass
Forgetting is fine, but the night doesn't last
And really, I don't know you at all

And when I wake I lay next to the mess
The one that you started and the one that I left
The one circling, waiting, for its prey to die
You never wanted to know me at all

How couldn't I see?
How could I have been so naive?
I should have accepted that nothing is safe
Nothing is free

And I pay with my sense
My thoughts, and my worries
Eager to spend them at once
You said I look tense, I left in a hurry
As all my wits became none

As I became no one
No one
After all, I'm the one that you called
When there was no one
No one
Only to leave when you're done

I feel like the leaves on the ground that you step on in autumn
I feel like debris from the bough that has sunk to the bottom
I feel like the streets of a town that were left and forgotten
I feel like the seeds of the flowers that died before they blossomed

As I became no one
No one
After all, I'm the one that you call when there was
No one
No one
Only to leave when you're done
