away from me

shuffling around the room again
family reunion—where have you been?’s
all this time I missed your smile
at least how it used to be

saving face in front of me
then talking shit when I leave
how does it feel to be that high
wondering what I’ve done with my life

oh kid you must have lost it you used to be blessed now you’re just used
oh kid you should have stopped it when you were ahead now you’re falling apart again

I wish I could cry but I know that if I do you’ll go away from me
I wish I would die but I know that’s a symptom of my mind that I hold away from me

oh kid you’re full of shit
you’re talking big but I see right through your lies
oh kid, you’re a waste of space
half as beautiful as the human race
it’s in your eyes

you’re pushing away from me
