"Reverse Dreamcatcher", December 18th, 2009

I could sit and glare at you
Stew and steam and stare at you
Let my nostrils flare at you
But it wouldn't change your character
No it wouldn't change a hair on your head
My eyes aren't black, I'm not seeing red
This twisted skewed soul isn't wanting you dead
Every single thought that runs through my head
Reminds me of how I'd love to forget you instead
Every lie that you said
Every line that you read
Every way that I let myself get led
To believe that you wouldn't leave,
That you would help and allow me to breath
Under the weight that I haul that this world doesn't see,
But unfortunately you eventually
Ended up tossing me away casually,
But it's ending up perfect in all actuality,
Cause the place you chose to throw me
Was into my friends, and they helped me see
That the one who'll make me happy is me
And being just what I want me to be
And not what I have to to keep you around
And getting upset and swallowing sounds
And wasting my time while my own dreams drown
You're nothing but my favorite memory now
Cause you've shown me the why and the how
To answer the questions I can't figure out
So I guess that's what this whole thing's about
Cause you were the one in who wouldn't get out
Of my head all these years but now there's no doubt
That you hurting me was the only way out.
