there's this little piece of you
i may never see again
there's a bigger piece of me
that's simply vanishing

there's a little scrap of memory
sleeping next to your truth
it's all curled around your body
and i cannot shake it loose

you park your van you feel again
you scratch your skin pick up your pen

i am afraid what did i pay
to stand up here and play the fool
i'm losing myself and i know i'm losing you

something you'll remember
something you once knew
why bring it all up to the light
except when it's killing you

a bridge to build an act of will
some time to kill a soul to fill

your bright future stares me down
you'll bury all you lose
your winter sun she breaks upon
those skies of cobalt blue
