BLANK WALLS

Easier to forgive
But how do you forget yourself
Stationary styles allows too much
Time for re-evaluation

Keep moving
Don’t decorate into permanence
It’s too hard to tear it all down

//Blank walls all around me
The color sucked dry
Don’t get too comfortable, dear
We only have tonight//

Not so easy to forgive
When you can’t forget yourself
Don’t repeat the same mistakes
Lesson learned, I won’t forget if I…

Keep moving
Don’t nail anything down
It’s too hard to rip it all out

//Blank walls all around me
The color sucked dry
Don’t get too comfortable, dear
We only have tonight//

The color bleeds out of my skin
Need pressure
To hold myself together
You paint murals with what I leave behind
But I won’t be there to see it

*because I’m surrounded by*

//Blank walls all around me
The color sucked dry
Don’t get too comfortable, dear
We only have tonight//

…we never had tonight
