If there was a god he would save the dead If there was a god she would resurrect Instead the stateless perish Some are born just to be condemned My mother watches me tie my shoes before I go I try not to cry as I kneel before her but she knows I cross the laces then I cross my chest There is no hope left inside my sullen head But smiled, when to myself I said "There is no design" under my breath.

You left me alone in our room in Portland. You change your clothes. I'm just a sketch to you now; a blurry picture in a message, messy pixels. I am dressing up for someone else now. I thread my clothes over the edges of my shoulders. You are precious. You are holy. I lie my head beside another, blink a busy pattern. From under my own sheets; an awkward kiss. I'm not confronting that I do not like myself like this. Like the shapes our shadows make; silent silhouettes. Still huddled, stretching, tangled, exchanging, covered in the wet breaths our lungs are making. Like a ghost, I left you alone.

(Reprise #2) 02:59
I lie half dead in my empty full size bed. You on the other end. Tears trickle from my rotten head. I'm questioning myself again. I'd love to fuck this up, instead I slither nakedly. You love me more than I can stand. I think about them now and then; the parasites that hath condemned.
