They say Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
But all this has done
Is make the love thinner.

Fluster is frown,
Pleasure is pain
Hate is love
And love is hate
Shame is pride
And pride is shame
Get off your high horse
Put your feet in my shoes
Try run a mile that I have and
See if you will last
Beneath every judgement is envy
Of where my head is at
Nothing binds us together anymore
Except blood
But once upon a time,
There used to more.
