Cold Shoulder

With every action

Another reaction

With every word

Another meaning

With every phrase

Another sentence

With every beat

There's one less



Kill all the sounds

This movie is over

With every voice

Another chapter begins

A new heart beats

Almost every minute

An old heart stops

Almost half as much

I only wish I knew

How many beats

Till this one is over

I only wish I knew

Why our hearts bleed

Whenever we're over



Take back your words

This cannot be over

Forget what we said

Blank it from memory

Shut tight the doors

The darkness overcomes us

Run far away

Without leaving your footprints



Kill all the sounds

This movie is over

With every voice

Another chapter begins

A new heart beats

Almost every minute

An old heart stops

Almost half as much

I only wish I knew

How many beats

Till this one is over

I only wish I knew

Why our hearts bleed

Whenever we're over



Kill all the lights

(This darkness overcomes us)

Shut tight my eyes

(I want this to be a dream)

Wake up in solitude

(Since when am I so alone?)

Pick up the phone

(Dial then drop it and...)



Kill all the sounds

This phone call is over

With every voice

Another story begins

A new heart beats

Almost every minute

An old heart stops

Almost half as much

I only wish I knew

How many beats are left

Till this one is over

I only wish I knew

Why our hearts bleed

When we turn a cold shoulder



I only wish I knew

When I'll take my last breath

And this will be over

I only wish I knew

Why good things never last...

We turn a cold shoulder

Sometimes when you get inspiration, such as a shitty situation, it's just best to write it down.
