[khg] froth and foam

[empallin]

we could hear you coming
from a mile away
trying to flesh out
how long you would stay
we know your games
we choose not to play

we can fake it for the family
we can fake it for the kids
we can fake it for the holidays
but i cant fake it for you
one more day

dark and dreadful
just like you wanted
coiled in coldness
just like you needed
lacking and lovely
just like you feared

we can fake it for the family
we can fake it for the kids
we can fake it for the holidays
but i cant fake it for you
one more day

it wouldnt be right
to say it as we
it wouldnt be right
to say it was just me
but in the middle of the night
it is as it has to be
