lyrics

I’m making up a list of all the things to leave behind.
Baggage and trash and stuff covered in rust.
Like a couple thoughts I almost had. If you don’t mind,
They’re on the curb.

I taste like unripe, rotten fruit
Beaten and torn, gave up on the root so long ago.
Peel back the skin and throw me away
I could learn to be this hungry.
Permanently starving. Only, that’s not all.
Also pleasure. I’ll live without it.

This is how to backtrack from as good as it gets.
Listen close.
I coveted my blessings while in the wings hedging my bets.
While you chose.
I made a million plans, and thought about the hands,
What they could do. But that’s not all.
Give me some place to sink my teeth
I think there’s more than cotton underneath...
I wanna know.
If you don’t give a purpose to my unused lips,
Well I could mouth “goodbye” to talking.
Sing the song of silent losers. But that’s not all.

Also pleasure. I’ll live without.
Only pleasure. I’ll live without.
Lonely pleasure. I’ll live without it.
