Fatigue

Every touch still stifles me
Because I'll always think of her
Or something I might never feel
Your embrace
Keep on driving west of town
Stop here to collect my nerve
Count the pills, put them away
And head home

I've been sliding
You were perfect in every way
I move toward you, you just
Turned away

Every word was meaningless
Once you found what I'd become
Petulant when choking down
Your dreams
Keep on driving west of town
Stop here to collect my thoughts
As the winds lay winter in
My bones

I've been sliding
You were perfect in every way
I move toward you, you just
Turned away

I've been hiding
But I will leave my door unlocked
Just in case some night you might
Find your way
