i have better memories of you during worse times
|
days you planned
|
with your head in your hands
|
and your feet benath your thighs
|
|
im sure youd recall
|
that stretch of mills wrapped around
|
rockier peaks
|
back home where your diary leaks
|
the names of those you forgot to possess
|
the wretched figures that youve never sewn to your dress
|
|
you are much more
|
than i'll resign myself to
|
you are much more
|
than i'll assign to myself
|
|
our hands are wrapped around
|
tongues youve bit
|
and its easy to reword failures
|
that no longer fit
|
|
i forgot your name on that very same day
|
i wrote away the symptoms youd have me betray
|
|
and i'll never invest a sick sense in anything this immense
|
|
minds that turn pale
|
from conversations and innuendos you struggle to find
|
they grow out of themselves on their own
|
through words we find
|
|
pills that are easier lost than swallowed
|
when we've buried all the roads we had left to follow
|
over and over and over and over again
|
