my body began to atrophy
i had been sitting still for so long
with shaking limbs, i began to walk
stubbornly forcing myself to be stronger
than i was back when i used to trace my steps down the winding streets late at night
bumming cigarettes
felt the cold hard concrete underneath my feet
brushing past, i began to sink into the hardwood floor
from where i thought i'd be this year
to where i've ended up once more
and i'm counting seconds on the clock
drilling holes in your head each time we talk
and i'm still waiting to get through
and i won't be falling on my cross
even when you turn to me and say
"it's over now, we've lost"
invite me over to your house on new year's eve
i'd never tell you any of the things that you wouldn't believe
lacking patience and purpose, i quickly deserted my position at the back of the crowd
started carrying on conversations with everyone but never out loud
trying hard not to blow it, i waited for the moment for adrenaline to reach its peak
but i got tired of waiting, i went forward and feigning great in difference i began to speak
but the words were out of order
the sentences came out wrong
to this day, my voice sounds alien when i'm singing my own songs
leor is my bff and she made this rly wonderful record late last year! she also has nine others! quit wasting yr time w me, go listen to leor! Noah Roth
