    Default Material Possessions

    Here the moisture peels the paint off the wall
    and the air suffocates you with every deep breath in
    it makes your bones stick to the flesh you’re soaked in
    and the people peel off the opinions
    so you keep your mouth shut, that way you’re never left out of the race
    and you die a little bit inside with every word you keep in
    and they pile in the back of your throat
    you hold back how you really feel
    because you’ve been shot down far too many times to speak
    you just bite the bullet and feel the rage swimming
    through the threads of a bracelet
    you got given by a dear friend that promised till the end
    it will untangle in time
    cause the moon quickly disappeared behind the hills
    and so did she, so did she

    You will forget every single word that slipped off the tip of my tongue
    and I will remember every word I kept a hold of
    all those sleepless nights where the moon didn’t glow
    and the sun never rose
    I drew the blinds because I had nothing left to hide behind

    This time last year I had no idea I’d be here
    with my feelings all mixed up and thrown around
    and my head all clouded with so much doubt
    but things have changed, I no longer scream your name
    in between the sheets that mark my grave
    and I no longer need you by my side
    through all the fumbled nights
    I spend spilling out words onto paper
    you no longer consume my dreams
    and take over my thoughts
    the ghost of you is finally gone from the corner of my room
    I let my grip loosen and lost you in the wind

    You will forget every single word that slipped off the tip of my tongue
    and I will remember every word I kept a hold of
    all those sleepless nights where the moon didn’t glow
    and the sun never rose
    I drew the blinds because I had nothing left to hide behind

    but if you really cared you would’ve noticed the tell tale signs
    if you really cared you would’ve noticed the sleepless nights
    if you really cared you wouldn’t have gotten lost in the first place
    just draw the blinds cause you’ve got no one left to hide behind
    ~Dream to make believe~
