In Framing

Well, you fell for the first option presented of new rebirth
 You couldn't see it but you thought you'd believe it
 Since your soles cramping up have been swollen and sore
 Your new shoes back then just don't fit anymore
 You retraced the same shape, cut up and re-sewn
 When you felt abandoned, when you felt alone
 When you felt alone
 ♪
 And on New Years, you resolved to make your chaos external
 Duress of sickening kinds, a half year blacked-out of my mind
 No string traced back to a place-marker
 Alleviate, erase failed attempts at obstructing machines
 Got drained when the crutch became vampiracy
 Bit off more than could chew and then swallowed it whole
 I choked on your temper when you felt alone
 When you felt alone
 ♪
 And the sirens cry loudly
 I am reflexive, I cry loudly
 You put my picture in framing
 Hung forever, left me strangling
 Called me baby
 And with your nature reversed and our home as our cage
 You caved and you asked, "Is this coming of age?"
 As you climbed out the window, your face cold as stone
 You lifted the towel, your wrist showed the bone
 I held my breath in the ER, I swayed as I stood
 I tried to stay steady to protect you the best that I could
 You pretended to sleep the entire ride home
 But I heard you crying when you felt alone
 When you felt alone
 When you felt alone
 When you felt alone
