Hoquiam

Standing with my feet deep in the ground
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind
Am I no one until someone calls me out
Are you just pretending when we talk
You should have seen me
Keeping watch at dawn
Picture now a car ride through the plains
Where east meets west and only sky remain
Were you faking death to only gain concern
The cut out lights and signals told us wrong
You should have seen us
Carefree behind the wheel
Lover I am still here breaking chairs
Will I ever be the hero in your song
Or forever in your shadow so unseen
Trapped between the lines that you write down
You should have told me
Broken jaw and all
Crippled in your glory
Restless till my death
