i mark your absence with the passing weeks and wonder if youre delighted by the silence you think im treading but my heads been underwater lungs filled quietly drowning i stopped noticing the static it takes the shape of forward motion over time and words that used to rhyme just sound discordant the chords of a chorus are droning on in the background of my mind but theyre not mine if you want the truth i only woke up just to talk to you the rest was filler at best and i will trade and barter to derive a healthy state of mind from this hurt ive harbored while youre doing okay you remind me of an old friend i knew you remind me of a habit i outgrew you remind me of an old friend i knew you remind me of a habit i outgrew i guess im better off clinging to half happy thoughts i guess im better off clinging to half happy thoughts
