No time was wasted on deciding what was meant Or shifting the blame for the ashes in the bed We got high together, watching parks and Rec and Bored To Death Moved south together, needing not a whole lot to be said Putting pressure on the temples made the headaches go away Suppressed internal dialogues that made us so afraid Of loving someone openly, and letting others fade She said I don't want another suture, I'm fine to let it bleed, Hey, I could be your suiter, you just tell me what you need I promised that within the year, she'd be a pillion passenger And we'd ride out of this town, we both coveted for years I felt I let her down, I know in love, I am an amateur Where do you draw the line between character and actor? I tried to keep up with the Illusion, the first impressions of my songs As if we shared the same conclusions about how to write the wrongs But the closer that you get to me, the more space between the words I'm a person, not a poem, credits due where it's deserved Nothing really touches A void exists between held hands And that's where you can find me Molding hourglass sand But from the stress of being held, we saw death take a baby bird I had hoped that it would live to Tell how humans weren't all predators We dug, avoiding corpses in a massive unmarked grave Wrapped it in a tissue and prayed its soul was saved Now I'm not sure what I needed, but if it's any consolation I know I wanted company and honest conversation You'll forever be a lover, my family and friend And you'll find the strength you've Always had to start your heart again Nothing really touches A void exists between held hands And that's where you can find me Molding hourglass sand
