You seem to wonder why
We never kiss
I'm bound to hunger by
You're unruly flip
And though I wonder too
How he never saw
Somehow he never knew
The thing we sought
Like a common tear
Like a comet tail
Oh the things we fear
For them to hit the ground
And I can't keep all the thoughts that wash my way ahead of me
Just to fear an enemy, oh to fear itself
And even a hair that grows and grazes on each side of me
It eats the love in me, that virus, jealousy
We're the animals
From lines of dust
And when it settles
It's still with us
A claw for something
We've seen unseen
Make a strong assumption
It makes the best of me
And false security
Addicted empathy
Rots inside of me
While I pretend to sleep
And I don't bring a lot to a table made of mud and paper shavings
I kept my college savings, someday I'll run stupidly away
And how you gonna trust a man who's only gonna leave you for the window
Sad soggy fellow, down together down alone
