Affection

Watch your step
Compile
The ebb and flow
Of foot traffic

The powder crutched and compacting our grip
But I'll throw some at you
And laugh when I miss
Retaliate with better precision
Cold smacks upside of my face
Way to repay

Give me some affection
Little less aggression
I'm not another story
About those that came before me
No

Waited so patiently
For everyone else to leave
They're not important
At least not to me
I'm not anti-social
You fulfill those needs

Names I can't connect to faces
Places I'd rather not be
I'm already complete

Why are you always depressed?
Does everything make you this stressed?
Why are you always drowning?
It's the same sea that surrounds us
Oh, oh

Pain of glass
Three inches deep
Somehow cracked
And the golden lead

The stairway to your old apartment
Fireflies are buzzing
Fluorescent lights
Layers peel with every few steps
Beads of sweat drip down your back
I'm a nervous wreck

So give me some affection
A little less aggression
I'm not another story
About those that came before me
No
