Mostly Fictions

the books i've read clutter my head
 with a few small facts but mostly fictions
 and i've learned enough
 to know how this will go
 it's not hard to prophesy this prediction
 and it was tattooed on my face
 even my freckles spelled out your name
 and I don't know how you could look away
 while my heart went up in flames
 but sometimes it goes out
 with a whimper not a bang
 sometimes just a flicked switch
 but it goes out all the same
 and it's over now, the light has gone out
 you never will out run it so you might as well just be done with it
 leave all that regret behind and just move on
 and study the past
 memorize your past if you want to but
 don't doom yourself to relive it and
 do not cling to it
 and sometimes it goes out
 with a whimper not a bang
 sometimes just a flicked switch
 but it goes out all the same
 cause it's over now, the light has gone out
 it's over now, the light has gone out
