A Landscape

I would have painted you a picture. And I would have done it with care. I just wish you would have cared. I'm just so jealous of honesty. And I swear you're bad for my health. So I keep my hands busy with simple chords, and I shut my eyes tightly when I was sing. Just to block you out. I'm just so tired of watching you walk away. I swear you're bad for my health.

But I found this pill to help me out. So I swallow it down with my own saliva, that gathers in my mouth at the mere thought of sleep and the dreams to follow. Where I'd lay with you under the moon, until the sun comes to ruin us.

And I'd whisper to the stars, "Look at us. You have no control over this. Turn your faces apart from us, for we don't need your light. We shine so brightly on our own."

But it was only a dream. I swear you're bad for my health.
