Early This Afternoon [Estimated Time of Arrival]

the left side of this conversation,
stopped listening five minutes ago
so lets just,
take it slow
I never thought that I could be this way

the right side of the bed, collapsed and became the center
your attention up here please, the show is about to begin
so lets just,
take it slow
I never thought that we would, turn out this way

if I'm just too lazy
then don't beat yourself up
I'm just not up to it
but I still be missing you baby

if I'm too sleazy for my own good
then turn out your heart for a cleansing
I'm just not up to it
but I'm still beating myself up to remember you

the left side of this conversation
stopped listening five minutes ago
but the right side of the argument
had a point facing their temple
rushing through their face at 160

lonely, rushed and anxious - this city is nothing
more than just a jail cell
early this afternoon we shall see who still remains
prisoner

broken by the wristwatch,
the wrist watches it hands snap at others
through the end of this ride
all involved will ask just one last question

where do wind up in the end?
as awkward silence falls upon,
somehow dramatically
I will pronounce "nowhere"
