Splitting Apart

I'm splitting apart Every version that I've been Wants to weigh in Romance takes her chance There's a gem of a truth I can believe in But doubt butts her out, "Reality is framed and you're the villain" Sorrow borrows some time enough to say that she really should be leaving But apathy wants to see that all the others reach the same conclusion So will swallows the pill and pacifies himself for the sake of them Drive flies with the hive, Boredom takes a stab at keeping attention But interest goes the distance Confusion is excited to have been invited And lust felt like he must have been handed the wrong address Then torment forewent grace and compassion had a swift and violent reaction She held a knife against his throat She said she cares, "So no you don't" I'm splitting apart Regrets and loneliness are dueling in the front yard But fear hands me a beer and tells me, "love would love to be here"
