Everything I
You were, everything I once had The bar on 1st Avenue, we went there solely for you So you can flirt with my best friend Kiss a girl, tell me why you're laughing I won't hold on I can't hold on to this There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months for six long months Well I won't hold on, to this February, Valentines Day Did my best to avoid the red cliches So you dumped me on the subway On my way to work at 9 in the morning Everybody else is holding bouquets Now I'm holding my face in the basement Scratching away for any trace Of affection you will leave Falling victim to the publics prey Well I won't hold on No, I can't hold on I won't hold on to this There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed for six long months There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed... There's a hole in the trust that we mapped out in my bed Oh, I won't hold on to this. Anyone is suitable for, for you I guess tonight Anyone is suitable for you I guess. You were a phase It's over with You my beautiful You were a phase It's over with you You my beautiful With your beautiful blue and white Your beautiful blue and white |

Days bunch up in weeks, collaborate months against me.
The sheets are stained with evidence that our remains are now, drifting away. I share with complete strangers my most personal of pleasures. I scribble tidbits of useless mind info- trash, treasure. Spend hours, at my leisure, like sharpened precise tweezers. Shifting through in the frame by frame I walk the same path I'll say the same lines I do this every time Do this every time Dodging armpit stench aromatic Wrapped up in my own self-induced stress panic I think I am the only one in this shifting through They'll collaborate in months against me. |

Dilute
The islands small and desolate the highway stretch towards nothingness Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you wont be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites this song The islands small and desolate the highway stretch towards nothingness Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone Distance dilutes and rewrites this song But I keep asking you to tell me what is wrong, And you, you just tell me that it's nothing at all But in your helplessness I can see, you know I can see The softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer I will pretend that you won't be gone That distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone That distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites And I will pretend that you won't be gone |

I knew something was wrong just in the way you said 'I'm so sorry'
The story read and I pleaded for you to continue With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) I'm sorry but I can't see past what other people are thinking (x2) What other people are thinking, other people are thinking Your voice cracked, almost begged for forgiveness Before you even told me, told me With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) I'm sorry but I can't see past what other people are thinking (x2) What other people are thinking, other people are thinking With you in my presence the pictures reassemble themselves Return to the cracked frame on top the television (x2) Those that are tore to shreds in the moment you were in two dimensions (x2) Just two dimensions I'm filling in the empty spaces where you left your mark You left your mark |
