Love, four words, explode above a mnemonic device To remember how it feels when I am with you The glass can't hide, my wounds will find the salt around the rim And this sting won't help this bleeding heart forget you Perfect lines like space and time extend across my room But they don't help me get any closer to you But open the door and the clouds come in And find you sleeping on the floor Get used to the numbness, you won't have to feel that anymore But maybe I'd be better off if I just answer quickly And make no distinction If it's going up or coming down, it gets confused with progress It is only motion And all this time still hanging on into such codependence I will fall completely And all the lines you drew for me to walk Well, I walked them well, didn't I? It is one less tongue that bends to say your name As I drive away the love songs play on my lonely radio But I shut them off because all they do is make me miss you so much more And so remains these twisted days I spend time by myself And attempt to make this failing heart continue to beat So open your mouth and the smoke pours in, tastes so lonely We are so bored, just breathe in the numbness You won't have to feel that anymore But maybe I'd be better off if I just end this quickly It is not romantic I am just giving up and shutting down I am just so sick of thinking my head is broken And in this aching bed we are lying on you Get your forced confession, I am fucking lonely And all the lines you drew for me to walk Well, I walked them well, didn't I? Now there is one less tongue that will bend to say your name
