There's a hole in the floor
I keep staring down
look in every corner
inch and border
like you're still around
but
no matter what I find
it's never what I wish Id found
in every single word I write
I have to fight myself to write you out.

There was an empty room
we used to lay inside it
spirits often floated 'round us
you got scared but tried to hide it


Somewhere in Texas I found a door with a lock
I kick and push it forever 
but never get what its got
until I get to my senses again 
or at least start to breathe
and every cloud and every number
starts to seem like the key
and Ive been young as a child
and I did childish things
and I grew up and continued
ignoring opportunity
see
Im not a product of people
I am the strangers you meet
the end isn't coming my love
its been past us for weeks

(and these days) 

before you can do anything
it seems its already done
we are a voice in a system
shift all your phasers to stun
I lay my head on concrete 
stare straight at the sun

this body is just a vessel
&
this world is just a test run.
