Being

His looks erase me, his tears and I exist
Only as a warped reflection of myself in his eyes
His speaks seem broken, mutilated tones that echo
Secrets exposed, and shame best left unheard
All up into my frozen eyes, cracked in his head, lights are out
He's set for the impact

He blunts against me with the force of my waiting, self-hating pose
There's nowhere left to hide but entitlement
Inside, so bare and out
I'm stuck, stepping away from inside

I'm stuck, standing in the dark
Bound with my love
My inability to live
In without the eyes

Rage, disclaimer, written inside
All the people in the language I control
It's a form of time
Fear stopped me, time exists

I touched him, a second hand, barely moving in time
To avoid demanding child-like seconds, lost to the arrogance of need
He watched me turn against myself
I couldn't turn away
But I believe in bad intentions
But I believe in reality

Inside, so bare and out
I'm stuck, stepping away from inside
I'm stuck, standing in the dark
Bound with my love
My inability to live
In without the eyes
Rage, disclaimer, written inside
All the people in the language I control

Inside, so bare and out
I'm stuck, stepping away from inside
I'm stuck, standing in the dark
Bound with my love
My inability to live
In without the eyes
Rage, disclaimer, written inside
All the people in the language I control

It's like this game that we play with each other
Hide and seek, and then we should be in and out
I keep hiding, counting to ten, and he keeps looking for the wrong person
