What do I care for your self loathing?

It's a bad question I grant you 
but maybe you could tell me.

Most of all, you have disappointed me.

It took two score and bruising to fall into your trap.

Broken letters
I fail to put us back together.

If I turn out the light 
it's not because I want darkness.

I won't let you play me

If I turn out the light

I can't escape this feeling of over exposure
