i wouldn't hide this from you

but if you saw it, you'd understand
why i stray from fellowship, honor distance
ideas come and go
like flawless chemistry
we hadn't but the faintest sorrow
which equaled some type of harmony

and glowing from fragrant pasts,
as if trying to battle the demons wasn't enough
now it's you whose fighting
and me who's given up

wouldn't a word be nice,
a soft truth in your ear
