Amelia

(zac clark)
it’s a seven semester window of opportunity that’s been boarded up
over seven semesters spent in relative obscurity, collecting dust
(because i couldn’t collect myself enough
to break the habit of keeping my mouth shut.)

i wouldn’t call it giving up cause i feel just fine
but i won’t hold my breath while i’m waiting for a next time.
i’ll step back and start over again.

so now i’m stuck facing my luck and the possibility of being buried alive
in another semester of open windows closing,
knowing there’s no chance but hoping
you’ll do anything but hate me.
cause you, you could save me.

it’s nothing, it’s nothing, it’s nothing.. but i’m lying and it shows.
this doesn’t mean a thing, forget i even mentioned it.
this doesn’t mean a thing,
but i’m lying and it shows.
i can’t leave here without letting you know;
i’m tearing down these boards before i go.
