Static

Villains are the lonely ones

The tragic hero just one misstep away

We all have reasons for living

On either side of the line

But not all of us, no matter the side

Can find much reason for living sometimes

Oftentimes

Remind yourself why the smile surprised you

In the first place
Remind yourself why you reacted that way

Statues point fingers

You lifted your hand against the sky

And for a moment, I was your substitute for happiness

As you dwindled in the shade

And replaced even I

The rocking horse that kindling made

Fire's nice, but you can't eat it

Only cook by it
