Ten To Twenty

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 bear the trace of me without you there

So fall like the snow too much too slow
Too fragile to say hanging over every day
breeze with contempt to shame the others
story so thin to cover 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 secrets
There's fear enough in there a taste of need in someone's care
