I am one of the fire guys.
I live in the fire room
with the other fire guys.
It's a rotten place,
and I've been bored like you wouldn't believe in here
waiting to see your face,
waiting for my purpose to appear.
And I
I know I've hardly been a friend.
And I
know there are differences that we can't mend.
But you're the only one who ever really saw me,
and I just had to clear the air before you kill me.
I live in a little house.
I stand on a single tile
and I can never leave the house.
I know a single line,
and it doesn't get my point across well.
Go ahead and rob me blind;
it's the most alive I've ever felt.
And I
know I'm not what you would call a friend.
And I
know you're more than I can comprehend.
But you're the only one who ever really saw me,
and I just had to let you know before I cease to be.
And if I block the hallway,
it's just to be near you.
If I'm standing in the doorway,
it's just to be near you.
I'm saying something so banal, so witless;
I'm speaking only in ellipsis,
'cause I
I know I've hardly been a friend.
and I
know I'm not much good to you in the end.
But you're the only one who ever really saw me.
