I was writing this down
to meet you
to meet you
take that any way you want
to
to
i don’t mind
i was writing this down to reach you
even if it only finds you halfway
fine
because soon we will remember
everything in time that we’ll forget
i bet
we’ll see it burn down in your eyes
like burning buildings in your eyes
saw burning buildings in your eyes
like burning buildings in your eyes
and you could wear it
like a war wound
like a war wound
you could so why don’t
you
you
wear it like a war wound
you could so why don’t you
and there’s a grace in my step
and
i’m so full of shit
i’m so full of shit
you could bust my
tooth right through my lip
tooth right through my lip
and i’d keep
on smiling
on smiling
and i’d wear the threads i tore
from all the clothes we’ve worn
and tangle and conform
till you’re a part of it
I’d let you rue the day
you let that slip away
that you let that mean the same thing
that i’d forgotten
just place these bets
on me
on me
my sorry company
our enemies won’t see where we’re going
you could let it mean the same thing i’d forgotten
you could let it mean the same thing i forgot
(we
will creep up from behind
will creep up from behind
we will take
you by surprise
you by surprise
we will creep up from
behind
behind
we will cut you down to size)
