I dug my way thru the walls I built
The ones to keep your world out
Cut off a finger
The one that has your fingerprint burned into it
There's not a ring of metal that can cover that
Beat my chest with the nubs left from digging thru those walls
Your world was what I wanted
Too afraid to let someone in
Give it a shot
Gave it a shot
Standing in the rain in my paper shoes and hat
The holes I dug in my walls caused my world to collapse
The weight of yours broke my shoulders
The rain destroyed my hat and shoes
Now it's easy to see where my feet are going
Too easy to see what's on my mind without my hat to hide under
What's on my mind is you
My feet are still going where you are
You should have worn your paper dress
After dancing in my tears I might have truly seen you
Rumors run thru the streets
The interwebs that crisscross the sky
I forgot my rubber boots
I've run out of bug spray to try and fight the spiders falling from the sky
Trying to lift up man hole covers
Dive into the sewers and get my shit together
How I got over you was not easy
I cut off my nose to spite my face
You still called me handsome
But it's not my heartbeat you fall asleep to
My world was not enough
The one that you helped blow down
You huffed and you puffed
And you blew my heart into pieces
Not enough mortar in the world to put me back together again
But I got over you
How I got over you wasn't easy
It's hard to regrow a finger
Naked without a fingerprint on it
Learn to write and feed myself
Walls back up and stronger than ever
That's the plan for now
Hermit mode with crab legs
How I got over you wasn't easy
But I did it
