Closing Argument

A dark entry hall for a darkened door

A nice night to speak at the length of this week

When for the first time in a long time

I haven't had to search for the words

For the first time in a long time I'm yours

Distracted and cryptic you've changed the locks

I've spent most of my life inside the back of my mind

But for the first time in a long time

I truly had to search for my thoughts

For the first time in a long time I'm lost

I'm left reminding myself what we are

Well we are what we are

You don't deserve to erase all our days you see

Those well traveled states they all lead to our gate but for

The first time in a long time

I shouldn't have to search for the floor

For the first time in a long time I'm worse

I'm left reminding myself what we are

Well we are what we are

I'm left reminding myself what we are

Well we are what we are

And we are what we aren't

There's nothing left to explain

So I carried every letter like a hearse

For what it's worth

I seek catharsis in the interest of others

There's really no need for us to repeat

There's really no need for one more of me

When there's no more of me
