I can't tell if you're a shadow or a stalker
But I don't care for you much
then again
I don't care much for anything
I've got it
I've got it bad
It's flowing through my veins
and weighing down my bones
you can smell it on my coat
and see it
in my eyes
I want to cry
I want to hurt
I want to be furious
because at least feeling
broken
is feeling
something
