Do you really want to know

What I expected

From this fabric of my life

The sordid sprawl

I know that I will be left at last

To the form of an abandoned shell

I only ever tried to break the chains

A clock and the time

A single thing that gives both equal ground

At the end of empathy

But then again, love of both still exists

It's just looked at in different ways

Loving you is expecting reality from you

In exchange for my love I offer hope of anything

I would trade my story for your life
