Because you peel the top away
Just to find another layer
If I'm a sponge and she's steel wool
You choose the one that tears into
I walked beneath the overpass
The one beside your old house
And wrote a lexicon for us
A dictionary for mistrust
Does language make consciousness
Or is it just the opposite?
Your mouth (an empty pocket)
I found your rusted razor in my medicine cabinet
Now everything seems so nostalgic
I walked beneath the overpass
The one beside your old house
And wrote a lexicon for us
A dictionary for mistrust
Does language make consciousness
Or is it just the opposite?
Your mouth (a fake gold locket)
I will try to speak your name
Like braiding ends, the place it frays
I take this all so seriously
If I can't have you, everyone will
