lyrics

I told her "I think you're sick."
She used a four letter word for her feelings
She keeps repeating
And when she was crying out
I just kept thinking "Focus."
"Make it important."
"Shut up and enjoy it."

I never felt like I was a soul in a body
Until she wrapped around me weightless
And breathlessly I was delivered from my demons
This is what it's like to be reborn

I wrestled the restless mess
I tried not to think of Eden
I couldn't believe in a place where lovers touch
Until I got there

I was waiting holes into my heart
She was going apeshit
While I prayed for a song to calm angry voices
She bit the hand that feeds 'til it fell off

I could never hold you close enough to make the screaming stop

When it was said and done
We were a cartoon without a caption
Drank to distraction
Confused pique with passion

I could never be what she told me I wasn't
As if her words were somehow binding
We both gave up on finding ways to take the torture
And passed the time until the shine wore off
