361 Degrees

I laugh in the face of the past
And soon it will be you with your limbs in a cast
Wrapped tightly in mummy-blessed throws
I feel that I'm so far above from this hole

Yes, I clap in sync with your yelps
And soon it will be you who is crying for help
Breaking free of this fantasy land
I need not know exactly where I stand

But the look in your eyes bleeds through
And now I'm trying to reach for you
A breach in walls is not hard to do
Slipping further is the truth
It's so hard to keep things right
When you speak with seething spite
I can't bring myself to fight
With that loving look in your eyes

And now I know myself well enough to see
I've traveled 361 degrees

I speak softly to the face of a stone
And soon it will be me that's only flesh and bone
You sip me straight from your tea cup
So that you can taste all of my fuck ups

But the look in your eyes bleeds through
And now I'm trying to reach for you
A breach in walls is not hard to do
Slipping further is the truth
It's so hard to keep things right
When you speak with seething spite
I can't bring myself to fight
With that loving look in your eyes

And yes I know there's nothing left
But still I seek a change of heart
Even as my mind's bereft
I can tell I'm back at the start
And I hate the way you grin
As I falter to speak my view
It all just spins and spins and spins
Why am I reaching out for you?

And now I know myself well enough to see
I've traveled 361 degrees
