ive got my dirty little thing
I've mistaken you before for some sort of cloud or some sort of washed up mistake. I've mistaken you before for a sign of intelligence in some remote landscape I thought to be desolate. And I've mistaken you for a sign that there are good things to come and that the worse has passed me by.
But it would have never occured to me, not in my wildest fantasies, that you would be the one to save me. That you would be the one to drag me out of purple skies that threatened to consume me inside out.
I took you for a thief, and a good one at that. I took you for a miserable blister on my thumb, constantly pressing me to look at it, and constantly asking for attention. I took you for a friend, and then forgot about the meaning of the word behind, somewhere in the background, behind those things you do.
And it has just dawned on me that you had all the right actions, all the right words, all the right signs. And that I hate you so much because you are just like me, just like all I do and all I say. Truth never hurts, thats what I now know. The only thing that aches, sending throbs of pain in waves, galloping down your skin... are lies.
So let the rain wash away the bright green color from these walls. Let it fade away these faces in tears that we possess, let it bring about a new beginning, and end with what we have now. I'm ready for a new start, I'm ready for a second chance, but first there is a trigger to pull. Must we really take the consequences of our actions?
