What Happened To You Dylan? You Used To Be Someone I Could Trust

A french tuxedo
For the impostor
A smile to make her daddy proud
Make him keep his voice down
A copper torpedo
May seem a little hostile
A quick reaction
A small investment
I’m on my best behavior
In my favourite posture
This is my statement
Of self improvement
Spoken between panic breaths
Spoken between silent breaths
Spoken between joyless breaths
A polite note to reader
A written apology
A statement of intent
Or a letter bomb to myself
I tried this once before
It’s inevitable
Write it down, tear it up
Write it down, tear it up
Write it down, tear it up
Write it down, tear it up
Write it down, tear it up
Write it down, tear it up
But I’ll keep it this time
I’ll keep it this time round
Confession
Transparency
Irrelevance
Insignificance
Quietly evaporate
I don’t want to matter to anyone
Windows and glass
Disappear entirely
Temporarily cease to exist
There’s bleach yellow lens flare
Across your faces, faces, faces, faces
I’m so, so sorry
I’m telling you I remember when we were kids
I just wanted to stay
Like that for good
I get my temper from injuries I can’t recall
Ok I’ll write it down and sing it to you
Write it down and sing it to you
Write it down and sing it to you
Panic breaths
