A bedside bottle of dark    A vague cape of decision eating its' path to your heavy heart       Why are we asking why?    Did you wonder as you wept?       I watched you cry some time ago    You conveyed to me your conviction    You told me through your eyes that you were being eaten slow    And the helpless soul I am,    all I could do was bear to listen       We slap your icon around like a stick    We swing your body around like it's a pillow full of pills    and we'll spill you out    While we hope that you'll slump back to us with one good hit       We are apologies waved by sinners in the wind    We are commandments split open with a pin    I held your hand with my heart    We weigh in the same, though it should not be this way       With my ear pressed against the recieving end    I can hear the rhythms when they end    I wish you would have wished for better...    I wish you would have wished for better...
