Someone you love


An old confusion found in bits on the carpet.

An old friend who I hate.

And old promises I made.

Full circles from bar room floors.

Friends in this life are important.

Death is better with someone you love.

Being numb is as fun as you make it.

So when you fall try not to break it.

The fly crawling on my toe let's me know

These four walls know all my secrets.

Now I gotta burn the house down and blame the insects.

These full circles got me buggin' out

Like so many I can't forget about.

They smile at me in dreams like they used to.

Why this is something I only used to do.

Death is better with someone you love.
