different ways of counting fingers running through your hair

ten to twenty lifelines if you doubt how this compares

there's fear enough to share a fear of loathing

so easy how you bare the trace of me without you there



so fall like the snow too much too slow

so fragile to say hanging over everyday

a breeze with contempt to shame the others

a story's so thin to cater all your lovers



count me out your standards shadow trade in competence

ten to twenty answers shouting down on confidence

too easy not to share too vain for secret

there's fear enough in there a taste of need in someones cure
