Destroy, Rebuild, Destroy
October 4, 2019
I don’t need you to be here, ’cause I know how that ends.
I don’t need you to feign attention, I think we’re well past that.
I don’t need you to take out the garbage, I can take myself out just fine.
And I don’t need you to tell me everything will be alright.
The lies we tell ourselves in mixed company,
are the lies we feel obligated to keep.
I don’t need you to feel bad about it, that doesn’t help me out much.
I don’t need you to take the blame, who cares about that now?
I don’t need you to check up on me, you know damn well how I am.
And I don’t need you to care about me, because why start now?
The lies we tell ourselves in mixed company,
are the lies we ourselves have come to believe.
