Centrifugal

An evening undressing makes good for remorse
The common stay careless while you've stayed the course
A drink from the cabinet to fill the hole in your chest
Collection of matches to burn names off a list

Some homeostasis made less with remorse
Once young but left aging while I'm rooting for the north
And clear contentious litigation were the words from your mouth
Clear controlled manipulation as you move to the south

Unaware that I held on too long

Crossing the river, pushing westbound a lake
Ample time to run over the names in the stake
So broke, so tired, still falling through the cracks
They will tell next to no one and never talk back

Unaware that I held on too long
Tempting fate and sensing something's wrong
Your plan's painfully loud
But you still spell it out

You and I remain honest faces laid to waste from the storm
Two suspicious expressions, just trouble as we both dress the part
Took me by the hand and pulled me in with centripetal force
Despite the tough emerging temptation, my body stayed the course

Your plan is painfully loud
But you still spell it out

Tempting fate, I'm telling no one
