I'm honest Honest now more than ever, finding comfort in uncertainty I tore you, please, don't cry, wipe that tear from your eye I lied to you But not because i wanted to Because i let these thoughts and dispositions get in the way Of what i wanted to call But it isn't, is it? It's a fragment of our fantastical imagination Our failed escape from damnation And these demons in the back of my head slowly crawled their way forward and poked, Stabbed at my eyes But strong as my fears were i didn't shed one tear I've started to realize that my dog can feel my hand on his coat when i pet him And i've thought, how do dogs cry? I've never seen him cry, i wouldn't know But i feel like he gets sad when i'm not around for a long time I pray he never understands the things i do So he doesn't tangle his mind around the constructs of human emotion How thinking too much about what's coming next can make everything In the moment worse So i pledge, shed no light into the future And shed no tears any sooner
