Crosshairs

I’ve been staying up late fighting figures with crosshairs, and sometimes you’d
come to mind
I’ve been praying you’d wait finding reasons in nowhere, and sometimes they’re
hard to find
I’ve been forgetting dates, dusting bookshelves with cobwebs, and that’s when
you tried to stay
I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare, and that’s when you
walked away
And you said that drowning was the quickest way to the bottom of the lake,
and you were right
Those city lights just don’t compare to the shallow water’s shimmer in the
middle of the night when the stars look like reasons to fly
You always said there’s something stupid about me and I’d never know why
I’ve been straining my eyes, internet, escape life
And sometimes I’d fall asleep
I’ve been maintaining face, silent struggle and quiet nights, and sometimes
it’s hard to keep
I’ve been telling you lies, concentrating on past lives, and sometimes I’d lose
a day
I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare, and that’s when you
walked away
And you said that drowning was the quickest way to the bottom of the lake,
and you were right
Those city lights just don’t compare to the shallow water’s shimmer in the
middle of the night back when the stars look like reasons to fly
You always said there’s something stupid about me and I’d never know why
I had a dream this would sink
A few chains short of a link
So tell me now what do you think? You said that you couldn’t bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn’t bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, you said that you couldn’t bare
