Steal Your Words

I massacred the afternoon
 To the sound of rain drumming against parked cars.
 I drenched myself in desperate colors for you.
 I was dripping for your sympathy.
 I wear this weakness on my sleeve.
 I'd like to put you on. I'd like to wear you out.
 Solitary day. Forgive me for the blood you shed.
 City of night-Hear my footsteps.
 They echo through these empty streets.
 I've been haunting this apartment at night.
 Closed lips, abandoned ships,
 straightened with paper clips.
 And I get nauseous when the light isn't right.
 I listen faithfully when they illuminate for me.
 I wear your greatness on my spine.
 I'd like to steal your words. I'd like to give you mine.
 Solitary day. Forgive me for the war I waged.
 City of night-Hear my heartbeat.
 It echoes through these flooding streets.
 We can save ourselves from sinking.
