"I'm calling out to you from the basement...

"...I got a need to feel so I Shake! Shake!"
-Shake! Shake!, The Subways

There's no guarantee that you'll end up killing me
You're far enough to find a home.
To give me hell.
I'm working to remember why
you got to me that day you did.
You hit me with the aftershock
and expected me to stay.
I'm not the wide eyed child you remember
But don't give me your burden to bear
You're leading me to self destruction.
And you're free of any guilt.
I didn't have to give you time.
I'm so ashamed I did.
You made me fall and hurt myself,
You made me watch you walk away,
You gave your love to me.
I didn't ask for it.
