Sometimes I listen to your songs as punishment

Sometimes they come on, and I think I’m being punished

No more are the days of turning to Trench when everything was wrong

No more quiet nights alone in a room with you holding me together

No more words to chase after and decode for just a hint

Just a hint

My bag is ripped and I am stripped of everything that ever held me

Sometimes I watch pieces of me fall away like parts in a play

About a robot

Watch them go, say that I don’t know

Who I am or what anymore just wanted to feel something good for a change

Change everything

I’ll still never be the girl you’re thinking of

I’ll never be the boy either

Heave a sigh and wonder why the music cuts every time

Like ice

There is a wound but no weapon

Completely in love with and defeated by The Trench

Is this how you wanted it?

This isn’t how I wanted it

Days are nightmares I only wake from in sleep

So I will never wake

And you will never see

    Damn it if we’re not on the same wavelength tonight. You have my full agreement about the sadomasochistic nature of, well, certain music. The exact songs are deeply personal to everyone.
