righteous

i have no right to be righteous
if all the sacrifices i make
mean nothing to you

i have no cause to be cautious
or careless
if all that we share is on my side

and after all it's usually my fault
for crying out loud
for holding on too long
for making believe you would do
everything i'd done

please don't tire of me
i'll never tire of you
but your exhausted eyes
speak more than i'd like them too

i never asked for a guarantee
but to light up at exchanges like these

i'm not cut out for this
i'm not cut out for love
i just tear up myself
cause love is never enough

fall out

i hold nothing elseyou who take better care of me than i take of myselfselfish and wicked i've got it allbold and farsighted no cause for complacency as i recall
and how will i find youwhen the bright lights come our wayand will we survive when the fallout breaks the dayand what will i have leftthat can't be taken awaywith the darkening prospects unnameable objectssupplanting the quiet removing the context
and how can i be sure that we won't fade
if we were born to end in disasterlet me make the moves and bury into youas the darkness falls fasterand were you inclined to choose symmetry instead of mewell i would fare finethough aimless inside
