I can’t tell you what you wantconjure up a thought to make it stopthe memories won’t go awayif where the ghosts haunt is where you stayI’m sorry I’ve got nothing for youexcept empty hands as my proofwhat do you want me to say?words that will never make it okayI lost them Comfort is fleetingand it’s […]

Sap
