What would you do if I told you that what's best of me is holding together what's rotting my core?
How would you feel knowing that what you love the most about me is what's keeping me from getting better?
Would you kill what's best of me to stop my demons and my bitter pride?

I would like you to know that it wouldn't change the way I feel about you.
Those - three - little - words
(that sometimes get pushed through airtight lips.)

But someone forgot to let out the moths.
(Lets just say that they had their way with a cotton tongue.)
Now the worn cloth doesn't flow like it use to.

A hollow structure, bends in the lightest breeze.
Is it possible to wander without stumbling blind?

-No-

Actually it's become a myth,
Just like the truth slipping from a moth eaten cloth.
Besides no one wants a sketchy patch job.
