placeholder

(álbum: placeholder - 2019)

Last time that I saw you
Both hands in the dirt
Asking for a photograph
A picture you did not deserve

Oh, but I was just a placeholder
A lesson to be learned
Oh, I was just a placeholder
A place you will return

Last time that I heard your voice
Words I couldn't comprehend
As a thousand years of feedback
Screaming in my head

Oh, but I was just a placeholder
Exchange for what you had
Oh, I was just a placeholder
A tension you retract

Curious, I came to you
You wordlessly ignored
As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford

Oh, but I was just a placeholder
A place and nothing more
Oh, I was just a placeholder
With nothing to stand for

And this is where I doubted you
And endless compromise
To say that you told me the truth is to tell each other lies

Oh, but now you are a placeholder
Blinded by desire
Oh, now you're just a placeholder
For someone wasting time
