Distractions
I hear the buzzing around my ears
The silence gets louder when you're there
I can see you fade away in the distance like a seer
Trying to forget I care
The distraction tastes bittersweet
Satisfying me temporarily
I have it on repeat
Destroying myself permanently
Afterwards the guilt sets in
Persuading me to do things differently
But I've committed too many sins
To trust myself honestly
In a never ending cycle
The negativity latches on to me
I was in denial
And I'm now as transparent as the blue sea
I can hear the cries
I can remember the sighs
But I'll never forget the good times
