It should be a fresh start
But it is only a duct taped heartYou fail to realize
Things are very different
You go on like nothing happened
And I am no longer apparentIt should be a clean slate
But it is only a disguised fateMy life is turned upside down
You sit and laugh as I crawl
Through this deafening trench
You are on leave, I am in the brawlIt should be a white sheet
But it is only bleached defeatI'd thrash and slash
You wouldn't notice anyway
It's like a broken vase
Fixed with puzzle glue on a SundayIt should be a fresh start
But it is only a duct taped heart
