lost art.

I’ve made a mess of this silence
Taking the blame again
Like a cold war of violence
And the sadness is moving in
And I’m not interested in weapons
Just could we talk a little bit
Another silent treatment
And I don’t want to swallow it

I’m just trying to write you out
From under my skin
I’m just trying to get out
Of this place you’ve left me in
I’m just trying to sing you out
From the walls of my heart
I’m just trying to figure out
This lost art

when I think that I’ve forgotten
Your ghost is in my head
Another off the wall reason
I can’t let go of it
All the anxious drummers pounding
from beneath my chest
til you bring a resolution
I need to find some rest

I’m just trying to write you out
From under my skin
I’m just trying to get out
Of this place you’ve left me in
I’m just trying to sing you out
From the walls of my heart
I’m just trying to figure out
This lost art

Overcomplicating
What shouldn’t be so hard
A misunderstanding
Doesn’t need to leave us scarred
I have never loathed anything half as much as your silence
As fear and hate outracing
all the love I thought you meant

I’m just trying to write you out
From under my skin
I’m just trying to get out
Of this place you’ve left me in
I’m just trying to sing you out
From the walls of my heart
I’m just trying to figure out
This lost art
