quiet crime - narcissistic collapse - nheek

How many times have you been in a bed together

While all I can do is daydream ours

The plates in front of me are cracking

And my reflection is shaded in the dark

Like a photograph left in the rain, indiscernible

I trace your name in the glass

But it disappears before I can grasp

Every shadow in the room feels heavier

And I feel smaller, barely there

Daydream ours, but it's only mine

Every heartbeat, a quiet crime

I watch the world through fractured glass

Hoping someday these cracks will pass

What a quiet crime

The laughter blooms a daisy in the foiled carpet

I taste the sweetness of a love I can't remember

Your warmth is a ghost that brushes past my skin

And I'm left chasing shadows that might have been

I reach for you in midnight light (light)

But you're already gone out of sight

The plates keep breaking, the mirror bends

And I keep pretending it never ends

Daydream ours, but it's only mine

Every heartbeat, a quiet crime

I watch the world through fractured glass

Hoping someday these cracks will pass

What a quiet crime

I count the steps that take me to an endless pace

I whisper your name, and the wind gushes to my ears

I'm stuck between what's real and wished

Every daydream is a hit or miss (oh fuck, what a quiet crime)

Daydream ours, but it's only mine

Every heartbeat, a quiet crime

I watch the world through fractured glass

Hoping someday these cracks will pass

What a quiet crime

Daydream ours, but it's only mine

Every heartbeat, a quiet crime

I watch the world through fractured glass

Hoping someday these cracks will pass

What a quiet crime

What a quiet hmm

Maybe, maybe one day, when I open my eyes, the story will be ours
