Caffeine

Pour shame all over us
 Harden into a crust
 - - - cement - - -
 Forget the glamour and
 Mumble a jackhammer
 - - - under your breath - - -
 Hide your face in the curtains
 Better unsaid, so close
 And it rolls off the tongue
 ALMOST
 The world expects the pose
 Perfectly natural
 - - - loosen up - - -
 Smearing wet concrete
 And swearing you'll never be
 - - - caught - - -
 At your weakest, etched in stone
 And we're frozen here, peeking
 ALMOST, sweet talk, CAFFEINE
 Make contact
 Up to my neck
 I confess in quicksand
 "But it's so easy for you"
 "There's always one thing"
 "Do you have something to tell me?"
 "Say something"
 "Anything"
 "I'm warning you"
 "I'm warning you"
 "I'm fucking you"
 "I'm warning you"
 "Relax"
 "It's just a phase"
 "You'll grow out of it"
 Believe anything anyone ever tells you
 It's not funny any more
 It's thing you hate the most
 The thing you hate the most
 The thing you hate ALMOST
