lyrics

Give me one good reason to try.
If I wasn’t addicted to my…
Own way of losing things. It’d be all right.

If I just had another few days
To drag it out and think of new ways…
To talk myself out of us, just for another year
It’d be all right.

I think of all the time I could waste.
And how your skin is seasoned to taste.
I’ll look at you and you’ll look at me.
And I’ll touch your face, and it’s all right.

I didn’t think it’d happen to him.
I’m atrophied down every limb,
Just like my tongue has been.
Never saying what I should when I could.
What I’d give to hold on to you!
But I’ve gotta (got to) plan to settle for less.

I’ll hollow myself out. I’ll sew my nose and mouth shut.
I’ll hollow myself out. I’ll stretch and flex my skin.
I’ll hollow myself out. I am becoming a dungeon.
II’ll become a dungeon for what’s left of you.

Remember when you asked how I felt?
I made a joke and thought that it helped.
Oh how I wasted this.
Never saying what I should when I could.
What I’d give to hold on to you!
But thank you for what you left behind.
