the times get longer
the days grow colder
leaves are stickers on the wet cement
and i'm freezing deep down
there's nothing to let out
and too much to keep locked in
so i'll save it for tomorrow
it's strangling me from the inside out
and it comes from the outside in
a smile is all i ask for
but i just screw things up
it's too convenient to be fake sometimes
much more to my appearance
it counts as too little evidence
and does me scarely any justice
no, you can't know who i am
these pains are mine
fingers grasping onto a broken core
winter comes, winter stays
and everything freezes in place
it's ridiculous how much 
i need you right now
more than anything else
i shouldn't be needing anybody else
and i shouldn't save that mindset
but there's so much more
than what lies on the surface
more power to you 
if you can crack me
if you can figure out how i tick
please, let me know
because i'm dying here
