Southgate

It's so hard to close me in,

and in a way it's wasted time

We were running out,

scared of falling out

Tired of breaking out,

tired of getting out

(I took a pen and I

drew in your temple)

These designs are for you my dear,

To alleviate your swelling tears

Would you even know if/

that I was here?

(I care, I care)

To watch your tears

fall down like rain

I'm glad I left it all behind

the tattoos and the piercing

And teh everyday grind

I had the courage

we saw the arms race

There were threads

that stitched us all together

I'm washed away.

Motion pulling,

forward, backward

You were calling I was distracted
