good to see you come so easy

when I need your love so badly

here's to playing tug of war with my vocal chords

maybe I can give this another

shot or sing about a broken heart

or immitate the way it feels if this is happening for real





Chorus:

this distance seems closer

when you shove it in my face

this moment has left me with nothing else to say

I'm losing my interest with these empty pages

they're torn and have frayed ends

this dusty book

is bothered by my rusty eye and I can't see no I can't breathe

put me on the next page outta here

to live forever on this paper

capture this void and fill it with the frenzy in my voice





killing time by drawing faces that stare back at me from the margins

in a sea of 8 and a half by elevens

I'm drowing in

treading through run on sentences

and sinking into empty text

i'll swallow the salt

then spit a few dry words out



[Chorus]



no matter what I say no matter what I write here I'm sick of always

looking at this page with a blank stare

you never seem to know what they never seem to tell you 

words don't always come as easily as you might want them to

x2

throw this paper into fire and take me with it, just take me with it

throw this paper into fire, into fire oh 

throw this paper into fire, into this fire

throw this paper into fire, and throw me with it, just throw me with it
