lyrics

When I knew you, you could see through
Anything that couldn't be true.
Modern glory, Montessori,
That fat kid Tony's stories.

Now I hear you punch the clock,
Drill children with the chalk.

On target, full collision,
This child needs permission.
Have a hard time, there's yard time.
One chance to spy the skyline.

Staring in the vast of night,
Wonder did you do it right?
Had enough or just begun?
Who said it should be fun?

On a roll now, half a vision.
Was this shit your decision?
Not so bad. Not so rad.
Thinking fondly of what you had.
Honest reasons? Self-treason.
Say could it be the season?

Maybe bleed some love,
I guess we tried to dove.

I want to see your face,
When we're in the same place,
Heart strings will creep up sly,
Then snap back on the ply.
Say now there's not a chance,
Just fuel to do the dance.

When I'm taken, you're forsaken.
One of us is always achin'.
Tack too now, when the wind growl,
Sit back and crew the sin's howl.

Sugar sweet then salty dry.
Always beat, why even try?
A made moment to pretend,
Then right back on the mend.
And we're still getting old,
Simmer up it's getting cold.
No use moving forward now,
I know I know there's just no how.

Always peaked inside my head,
Remember everything she said:

She said I see right through you,
You're filled with dread, it's a slight that's too true.
That venom thread seems trite now, too true.
And when we wed -- yeah we'll see that blue moon.
A sputtered heart that's aged and tired.
Muttered tart, like a sageman's fire.
Gutter dart, like a wageman's hire,
But check the chart, we're still caged and wired.
