Picturing You Gone

A drunken iron statue with a pocket full of gold
 Is all that I am to you?
 Well your lies are getting old
 A beggar in disguise with no shelter from the cold
 Dagger stare of your eyes and a venom yet untold
 Silent words at the dawning of the day
 Your company is weary and there's nothing left to say
 Vacant thoughts fill these cavernous insides
 Lackluster conversations got me squirming every time
 Baby, I don't know you like I used to
 I don't really care for you at all
 If you see me smile in your direction
 It's just because I'm picturing you gone
 ♪
 The bare brittle tone of your aggravated voice
 Raising volumes on the phone out of narcissistic choice
 I'd fly above the shadows if it meant that I was free
 From the clutches of your spirit crying out in self pity
 Baby, I don't know you like I used to
 I don't really care for you at all
 If you see me smile in your direction
 It's just because I'm picturing you gone
 Cold beside your bones the pale moon upon your face
 An image never felt so out of place
 A barbed wire tongue has got me stranded in a daze
 Lost beneath a paranoia gaze
 Baby, I don't know you like I used to
 I don't really care for you at all
 If you see me smile in your direction
 It's just because I'm picturing you gone
