Resolution

Telescopes for each eye,
Stretch them out
But I can't find
Fingerprints on anything,
Every bit you’ve left behind
Don’t tell me you would never try

I built walls
To keep me still;
Or maybe they were all for you
A place to stay
A pillow or a leg.
Can’t you just find your way?
I wish I could just find my way

If the doctor used
Magnets on you,
You must’ve been sick, too.
White coats
And microscopes
Remember you, too.
And a hospital bed
Will drench you
And I would be too,
If you’ve kept what I’ve seen
You would be too

And I’d take every minute
Of cement inside of me
If you could hold a stare
Or just a feeling
Because I’d give you my bones
Or anything you pleased,
If I could sit with your skin
Like a new puzzle piece.
You know I'd fit right in.

Your mind is like a virus
It can always find a new way in
And you cling, and you cling,
You cling, and you win
But the magnets were placed
With such strategy
That I get stuck to you
Before you get off of me
I can't get away from you

conor did you write this for me?

"Everything is as it's always been
This never happened"

"Don't take it so bad, it's nothing you did
It's just once something dies, you can't make it live
You're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid
But I am a woman"

So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet
And I must have looked like a ghost, cause something frightened me
And since then I've been so good at vanishing

Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me
I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free
And a little bit empty

No it isn't so hard to get close to me
There will be no arguments, we will always agree
And I will try and be kind when I ask you to leave
We will both take it easy

But if you stay too long inside my memory
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me"
