sang and danced until i could take no more
now i guess we're through...

this is where all the hate goes
when i swallow it's bitter powder whole
i choke and i cough and i swallow it down

this is where i tell myself i have no needs
go without sleep and food, to bleed
for someone else's piece of mind

and this is where i'm sick of it
and this is where i threw away
yards and yards of white picket fence just to be happy...
this is where i second guess every little move
