Interlude (I Grow Awake)

I'm free

But why do I still feel empty?

Is it good for me?

My friends say it is

But I do not believe them

I do not believe them

I do not believe them

I do not believe them

The daylight glows on our thickened porch steps

But unconsciousness denies our interactions

It converts itself into a pale, current-fueled lake

And as the afternoon passes, I grow awake

I become so tired of the past

Connections that never last

Why can't I hold anybody close?

Or look into their eyes, and love them the most

I wish it were you but we grew apart

Despite saying that we would last forever

Last forever

Last forever

Last forever

Why won't we last forever?
