lyrics
A war is what I’ve become
Between impulse and hesitation
You are among the lucky ones
You see your path and destination
And I am just an option
To be found or forgotten
Along the way
Tell me the truth
You know my words are worth only what they mean to you, in sooth
So tell me what is it to you?
You know these organs work only because they think they see the future
Why don’t you throw them a blender?
I’d rather be an honest puddle than a paramour pretender
Letter returned to sender
“Out of sight - Out of mind” never sounded so absurd
I’ve grown jaded from
One-sided conversation
I should have known such fierce affection
Could only yield fleeting infatuation
Was it all an apparition?
Was it fuel for short fictions
Thrown away?
I was singing stream of thought
While you were drinking all the words straight out of my kiss
Now I’ve been thinking quite a lot
Your silence stings in recollection of that momentary bliss
Was it everything you sought
Just a clandestine amour for a one-time tryst?
Something you found and then forgot
So conveniently, rewound within the sound of the smile I miss?
A clean reciprocation (It’s all I ask)
Just a little information
And I’ll be on my way
I weathered your tides, baiting closure
How the current comes and goes (How it ebbs and flows)
Unfettered goodbyes are hard enough to give to those who’ve
Hidden their hellos (I’m left in the throes)
Inventive white lies pander in the guise of pretty lines
Like, “I don’t kill so easily”
When you’ve severed all ties from what candor could’ve neutralized
Like bonafide nepenthe
Between impulse and hesitation
You are among the lucky ones
You see your path and destination
And I am just an option
To be found or forgotten
Along the way
Tell me the truth
You know my words are worth only what they mean to you, in sooth
So tell me what is it to you?
You know these organs work only because they think they see the future
Why don’t you throw them a blender?
I’d rather be an honest puddle than a paramour pretender
Letter returned to sender
“Out of sight - Out of mind” never sounded so absurd
I’ve grown jaded from
One-sided conversation
I should have known such fierce affection
Could only yield fleeting infatuation
Was it all an apparition?
Was it fuel for short fictions
Thrown away?
I was singing stream of thought
While you were drinking all the words straight out of my kiss
Now I’ve been thinking quite a lot
Your silence stings in recollection of that momentary bliss
Was it everything you sought
Just a clandestine amour for a one-time tryst?
Something you found and then forgot
So conveniently, rewound within the sound of the smile I miss?
A clean reciprocation (It’s all I ask)
Just a little information
And I’ll be on my way
I weathered your tides, baiting closure
How the current comes and goes (How it ebbs and flows)
Unfettered goodbyes are hard enough to give to those who’ve
Hidden their hellos (I’m left in the throes)
Inventive white lies pander in the guise of pretty lines
Like, “I don’t kill so easily”
When you’ve severed all ties from what candor could’ve neutralized
Like bonafide nepenthe
