meant to last for a limited time

avoiding unsuccessfully
the numbers in the boxes
the time to tell
the presence of present

to deliver, the delivery
repeated, one-way conversations
blinding, can't see through the wall
fading protection
caution keeps it on
fairness is just an excuse
who is wearing the disguise

i stand by my actions
we all make mistakes
exhausted by self-deception
you've emptied
now i've seen the other side of

water in a bag
dripping
where are the holes
i just covered the last one
then another

i want to use the cup
the crack keeps opening
water dripping
sealed
not tight

don't know you've made a mistake until you've made one
comparing last year's involvement with this year's entrapment
making the same mistake in a different way
will it be a mistake to cut you off
