Ripped and raw
But I can no longer pinpoint exactly why or when
Bloody and broken
And the facts I knew add up when they used to multiply
Torn and tattered
Though what she did doesn’t seem so bad
So (should) I take up the free ticket to visit as a friend?

If you look beneath the eggshells, ash, leftovers and spent tissues
You’ll find ripped paper

Emotion doesn’t fade
