Vent

are you done with me again
tangled in your reason
are you swallowed within
or did i just fit into the season

a memory in time
to make you feel alive
an alibi to the crime
you needed to survive

the dirty little secret
swept under the covers
allowing you to keep it
until you found another

dream for you to cling to
i never really did reach you
did i

are you done with me again
are all your love songs spent
did your conscience do you in
did you wonder where it went

was i just a voice in your head
that needed to be silenced
living in pages unread
needed to calm the violence

a memory in time
to make you feel alive
an alibi to the crime
you needed to survive

the voice of reason
or did i just fit into the season...

a dream for you to cling to
i never really did reach you
did i
