lyrics

My days seem to deteriorate every time we speak
I shut the blinds,
pretend there's rain
and listen to me breathe.

The weeks have dulled impressions of your body in my bed
The smell of olive oil
and lavender
make those dents again.


I'd rather never have had
than not to have what I haven't got now.
The stinging stripped-naked void
of a something I'd rather not talk about.


The colors take to evaporation
like mayflies take to dyin
I get undressed,
Lie on the floor,
and try to turn to ice.

And when I can't
I think of all the things that I can't do.
Like shut my mouth
or breathe real quiet
or sit down next to you.


I'd rather never have had
than not to have what I haven't got now.
The stinging stripped-naked void
of a something I'd rather not talk about.


I'd rather never have had
than not to have what I haven't got now.
The stinging stripped-naked void
of a something I'd rather not talk about.
