Lyrics

In the trash heap

In a state of decay or disorder

at the shoreline

By the edge of the water

I am able To be honest,

Expressing honesty is possible

Not with you,

Unable to be honest with you

but with myself

Capable of self-honesty

I am wreckage on display

My damaged self on display

upon a shelf

Like an exhibit on a shelf

I'm someone else

Feeling like a different person

Trapped inside

Feeling trapped within

A sad goodbye

An emotionally difficult farewell

That never seems to end

A never-ending sense of parting

A hole that picket fences

A metaphorical hole that fences can't fix

couldn't mend

Small hands with no defined purpose

And tiny hands

Symbolizing innocence and vulnerability

with no scheduled existence

No predetermined purpose in life

reach for mine

Seeking connection or guidance

to cross the street

An intimate moment of connection

A puzzle piece

Representing a missing piece in life

embraced defection

Acceptance of deviating from the norm

Estranged, unable to go back

Estranged and unable to return to the past

What was a thought

Initial thoughts turned into a harmful influence

is now infection

An infection of desire in the heart

Of my yearning corinary tract

Affecting the emotional arteries of longing

The simplest of questions

Suggesting that simple questions may reveal harsh truths

May invite the harshest truths

Truths that are of no practical use

Information which I have no use

The inclination towards self-destruction

But self-destruction

A growing lack of faith or trust

Having faith is escalating

Faith deteriorating while being unprepared or careless

With your shoes untied

A risky situation, being vulnerable

I might have died,

A sense of emotional death or numbness

but I'm already dead inside

Feeling already emotionally dead inside

Trapped within the scaffolding

Feeling confined within unfulfilled aspirations

of all I won't achieve

All the things one won't accomplish

My mind a prison

Mentally imprisoned, unable to break free

I will never leave,

A commitment to failure, no escape

I touch my failure

Acknowledging personal shortcomings

I'll never have a daughter

Regret about not having a daughter

and I'll never fall in love

Avoidance of falling in love

I'll never have a daughter

Repetition of the desire for a daughter

and I'll never fall in love

Reiteration of avoiding romantic entanglements
