Parenthesis

My dreams are withered
I'll never forgive you
I'm vexed, you flex
But damn there's nothing even there

Place another token in me
Press the button wait and see
Maybe she would agree this time
The deed is done that's another dime

I can't help thinking that I look nothing like her
How come you're the one that gets to look much happier?

It was all an accident
You were a glitch in my narrative
No notification, no elevation
Getting lost in blank translations
Snapped cables within her brain
He said he really felt no pain
This one sided game he wanted to play
Happened within this arcade

But all I ask is for a love that I have seen on screen
A love like my parents
But that's not my parenthesis

You said that she wasn't a threat (ha)
But you didn't mind drinking with her when I was alone in bed
You said time was money
But you didn't have the time and money for me
You said that you were trying
But you never changed your fucking ways
The people said it was dying
But I wanted to maintain the flame

You throw lies onto my stage like petals from a rose
But they grow thorns you'll know about that
When the loss is yours

It was all an accident
You were a glitch in my narrative
No notification, no elevation
Getting lost in blank translations
Snapped cables within her brain
He said he really felt no pain
This one sided game he wanted to play
Happened within this arcade

But all I ask is for a love that I have seen on screen
A love like my parents
But that's not my parenthesis

And maybe with a bit of luck I might just grow up
You wash my hair
And take me there
The summer air I wish that it was fun
But it's not
You patronise, I stabilise
Deny, deny your dirty lies
You hold a knife up to my chest
And rip apart my loneliness
God!
I didn't plan this
Guess it's my parenthesis

It was all an accident
You were a glitch in my narrative (ti-ti-ti-ti)
Notification, no elevation
Getting lost in blank translations
Snapped cables within her brain (I can't help thinking that I look)
He said he really
Felt no pain (nothing like her)
This one sided game (how come you're)
He wanted to play (the one that gets to)
Happened within this arcade (look much happier?)

But all I ask is for a love that I have seen on screen
A love like my parents
But that's not my parenthesis
