Pour shame all over us

Harden into a crust

---cement---

Forget the glamour and

Mumble a jackhammer

---under your breath---



Hide your face in the curtains

Better unsaid so close

And it rolls off the tongue

ALMOST



The world expects a pose

Perfectly natural

---loosen up---

Smearing wet concrete and

Swearing you'll never be

---caught---



At your weakest, etched in stone

And we're frozen here, peeking



ALMOST, sweet talk, CAFFEINE



Make contact

Up to my neck

I confess in quicksand



"But it's so easy for you"

"Yeah, there's always one thing"

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"Say something"

"Anything"



I'm warning you

I'm warning you

I'm fucking you

I'm warning you



"Relax"

"It's just a phase"

"You'll grow out of it"



Believe anything anyone ever tells you



It's not funny anymore

It's the thing you hate the most

The thing you hate the most

The thing you hate ALMOST
