i know you’re gone when my door’s wide open. in my dream i met a brand new person. they hated you more than i do when you get under my nerves again. treating me as if i’m one dimensional. quoting fight club like it’s goddamn original. taking me seriously when i mean hypothetical like what if we just lived in the moment?
you leave the tv on. it’s always on. turn it off so i can speak.
and i don’t think it’s right for me to leave without you thinking about what the hell that means. you’re like a record with just one song. you took me on your family vacation met your younger sister who had a pet lion. it bit my hip off and i woke up feeling like i was waiting to get off my shift.
it’s fucking with my dreams. computer’s on. it’s always on. turn it off so i can sleep.
and i don’t think there’s a single thing that i can do to make you change.
come on and talk to me.
