tick

I read every word to see what makes you tick
the deeper I go the thicker it gets
still no clearer as I start to regress 
I find myself trapped in the midst of it 

meaning obscure, indefinable, vague 
the less clear it is, the less you betray 
it could be about you or anyone any day 
the less you give, the more you take away

I was always there waiting for you 
to drop the shroud and show me truth 
I stayed too long and got caught in the blues 
nothing you offer to keep me next to you
