Vacation Vacate - Cruiserweight

a bowling ball in water

it’s a chore not to sink

this new life without you

oh, the possiblities are fleeting

and i tried so hard to engineer this trip

now i know my magic wand was just a ruler

keeping space between us

a metaphorical home

for your neglected, loner heart

it was unwise to think

that your residencywould be enduring

and i’ll sleep in the middle of my bed

pretending that it’s natural

'cause after all

i am just a vacation

that you decide

you can vacate at any old time

and at the ceremony

step up to receive your prize

«most likely to bail»

it’s amazing you never

thought you earned this

i turn 95 degrees just to think straight

now you can’t see me

I can’t feel you

and you arrived so triumphantly

singing your love

making heads lean toward you

now we’ll keep on trying

and i’ll still keep fighting

to find all the notes

that were lost on dead air that you breathe

and you tried to fake and fly

but unsuccessfully

'cause soon you’ll be seeing

your reflection in my eyes

and i’ll sleep in the middle of my bed

trying to forget every word you said

i’ll never forget what you said
