My memories told me
In a dream once
That you've spent a quiet night in our past
past still bleeding with questions
The answers too often ignored
My torture.

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am [bad word] to the lie
That I'll never be ?
I'll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won't ever let it go
??til [bad word] back to me

I lied when you asked me what I wanted
fateful blow to my own heart
I didn't know
tap on the shoulder just a shadow
Delusions far too much to bear upon you

I let the stars
Witness the honesty
I am [bad word] to the lie
That I'll never be ?
I'll take a breath
To breathe you into me
I won't ever let it go
??til [bad word] back to me
