I'm crawling down the pavement.

Everything streams by.

Everyone screams by.

On the trip back home, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it.

We crush what's coming.

We can't recover.

We leave what's empty and move down the line.

Everything has made me bitter.

I coughed up a smile tonight.

I brought home a fake badge to wear around the house

and show my loved ones how much I try.

I've killed what's missing.

The pavement is peeling.

We've lost what's broken and saved each other.
