LYRICS
Can we take the next hour

and talk about me

Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me

Can we please take this hour
and talk about me
and my hatred for corporate magazines

you know they don’t speak to me
The irony is they won’t speak with me

I placed you on a windowsill
Cut notches up and down the door

My surprise, I woke up one morn
In our bed
In your place

Lay a note

It read:
Baby your love

it just ain’t good enough

I found sunlight six hours away

You watered me down ‘til I drifted abound
Somewhere far from your shade

Now I shadow my former self
Once holy, now lonely
A chest full of holes

Red wax, it paints me unclear
when the big hand strikes twelve

I disappear
and
the angels are fake

They'll lie to your face

Anything to keep you away
You watered me down ‘til
I drifted abound

It’s time I accept the fact

that you on your back
It has buried the past
