has it failed?
the lie so white it's almost see-through
all we made a fruitless effort to connect with
ourselves and remain disconnected

don't hesitate to
sweep this failure under the carpet as we exchange
insincerities as we walk out on ourselves
and remain disconnected

so I slide into the deep end I was up
against something bigger than me don't have any access
don't have any answers to what's inside so I hide

here is to safety and it's comfort
I wouldn't know how to get around this
or myself to begin with
I remain disconnected
