One for the camera

You're picking off the scabs that stitch the memories to your skin
You're waiting for the day the blood beneath won't come again
But every story's ending holds a secret you're keeping in
The words that should resolve themselves cease to come to an end
Shut the cabinet,
Tape the mirror closed,
And shut your mouth for once in your life
I'm waiting for the words to come but they won't write
Themselves on the page
Let's watch for rain, let's wait in vain
For things to fall from the sky
And when they always almost do we'll always almost say goodbye
<>><><>><><><>><><><>>><><><<><><>><><<><><>><><
You put the pen to paper, write your name, and cross it out
You want to rip it all away but you know you'd couldn't do without
But every time you write a different word it's not allowed
And sometimes to be heard you have to spill the ink and shout.
Snuff the candle, lock the room and walk, and trust yourself for once in your life
Keep waiting for the words to come cause you can write them down on the page
Keep watching for rain, you're not watching in vain, cause things have fallen from the sky
Before
And when they finally do you'll have the strength to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
