36. It only feels this raw right now / Lost in the labyrinth of my mind
35. In search of glorious happenings of happenstance on someone else's playground / But it's been 2,190 days of our love blackout
34. If I was some paint, did it splatter on a promising grown man? / And if I was a child, did it matter if you got to wash your hands?
33. I find the artifacts, cried over a hat / Cursed the space that I needed
32. I've never seen someone lit from within / Blurring out my periphery
31. So I peered through a window / A deep portal, time travel / All the love we unravel / And the life I gave away
30. You were standin' hollow-eyed in the hallway / Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us
29. Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife / And she looks so pretty driving in your Benz / Lately she's been dressing for revenge
28. While he was doing lines / And crossing all of mine
27. Spider-boy, king of thieves / Weave your little webs of opacity / My pennies made your crown
26. No words appear before me in the aftermath / Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears
25. They ask, "Do you have a man?" / I can still say, "I don't remember"
24. From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
23. I made you my world / Have you heard? I can reclaim the land
22. Confess my truth in swooping, sloping, cursive letters / Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight / in my mind
21. I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails / And the liquor in our cocktails
20. On the way home / I wrote a poem / You say, "What a mind" / This happens all the time
19. Did some bird flap its wings over in Asia? / Did some force take you because I didn't pray?
18. If you would've blinked then I would've looked away at the first glance / If you tasted poison, you could've spit me out at the first chance
17. A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes / This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
16. I pictured you with other girls in love / Then threw up on the street
15. The mark you saw on my collarbone / The rust that grew between telephones / The lips I used to call home
14. Talk your talk and go viral / I just need this love spiral
13. We can plant a memory garden / Say a solemn prayer / Place a poppy in my hair / There's no morning glory / It was war, it wasn't fair
12. Dragged my feet right down the aisle / At the house lonely / Good money I'd pay if you'd just know me
11. There's many different ways that you can kill the one you love / The slowest way is never loving them enough
10. Life is emotionally abusive
9. And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
8. You drew up some good faith treaties / I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
7. Put on your headphones and burn my city / Your picket fence is sharp as knives / I was dancing around, dancing around it
6. I hosted parties and starved my body like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
5. When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room
4. If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
3. My friends found friends who care / No one sees when you lose when you're playing solitaire
2. And I wouldn't marry me either / A pathological people pleaser / Who only wanted you to see her
1. Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts / Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
