please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

between phone calls and sleeping

i haven't had much time to work

but then again you haven't answered lately so my time is worse

used on attempting to contact you

than it is on music or planning on the new things i can't forget

so i'll just waste away in bed

mentally deteriorate

keep on placing value on the things i used to claim to hate

and no longer is virtue is just an idea i'm perplexed by

'cause fortune and luck cannot be purchased at a best buy

so maybe i'll try again

find your number

type it in

maybe you'll pick up your phone or maybe you'll just sigh and grin

knowing that an answer might entice me to come back to you

knowing that my heart shows signs of use and it's not factory new

i'm sorry for whatever sins i committed in past lives that made you hate me so much to just cast aside

any kind of love or kindness that you ever had for me

i would call it blasphemy but clearly

that's the past to me

so -

please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

please pick up your phone

between music and school

i haven't had much time to think

but then again my brain's been on the fritz so i've been fast asleep

dreaming of the days when i can hold your hand and laugh with you

dreaming of the days when i still had some kind of class with you

missing all the times we had before it got disastrous

wishing i could travel back in time and try to capture it

no longer broken hearted feels like we only started

then our ties were cut loose with a cold and sharp end of a blade

the likes of which i'm sure you know i've seen before

chasing lighthouses through the sky and probably bleeding more

those were days far away

long ago can't see them now

but sometimes they appear in a night sky when it's freezing out

and believe me

i'll be running fast behind them

til' the day i somehow die and leave behind my empty silence

i'll never be broken hearted another day of my life

'cause that hearts been ripped from my chest and i left it right by your side

so -
