Limbo

Everybody's
hearing from me
Cos I'm hurting bad
And I'm lonely

Reaching out for comfort
Carelessly
Who will care for
Care for me

Sharing out my emptiness
You're not exactly real
But you'll take my pain
And read it back to me
That's one way to feel

An adult would wait this out
But I'm corroding from inside
Danger, warning, volatile
A chemical riptide

it's only you who's on my mind
You know that all too well
Thought I was safe forever more
Or that I'd be able to tell

Was it all for nothing
Where have the years gone
Have you only just realised
Or did you know all along

I'm waning, dissolving, barely here
Can you make it right again
For the first time I have given up
Not a matter of if, but when

Save me please
I'm begging you
There's nothing left of me
Too much this world
Lived alone
Too much reality

Limbo is my punishment
Can I still call you my man?
Withhold your answer
Make me dance for ya
Slaughter me the lamb

Aces, spades, poker nights
You've moved on from that
Those are Trivial pursuits to you
Big man, pass go, top hat
