Burn

You won't find me condescending at your closed door 
You won't hear how I feel
Say you've been there before 
The holiday's the hardest time
To fill in all the blanks 
And you don't need anyone to show you those mistakes

Wrap yourself up in only math of our world 
Fill up the holes in your full heart with details 
For all the riddles solved and every puzzle you complete 
Can't seem to find the pieces to the heart that beats 

You'll master every task but always by the book 
Then log it in your past with risk that you once took 
They left you then, they'll hurt you now 
Can't get too close to you or you will cut them down 

And any fool can play
I'll raise the stakes with another turn 
We risk, we roll, we burn 

At arm's length you never get hit 
Too much to gamble when you let someone in 

My true friend I'm spewing 
And only one more positive 
I just might spill some notable insight 
I didn't think before I purged 

So here I am attempting to unlock your closed door 
I wouldn't break it down 'cause you'd be gone for sure 

You might say something nice of me and send it in a card 
Or under whiskey breath slur kind words at the bar 

And you're sinking me 
While you stay afloat in the tank you built 
We drop, we'll never learn
