lyrics

I’ve leant my heart out enough times
When it comes back it forgets my name
It forgets my face and the sound of my voice
It’s still chewing on all our furniture
It howls and growls all night
I locked it in the closet without a fight
It keeps me up scratching at the doors
I’ve promised not to let it out again


She said “I’ll be sure to forget you in the morning
Close your eyes and bite your tongue, you’re just boring”
I’ve slept on enough broken mattress springs
And finger-crossed sentiments to know these things
I’ve cut my teeth on bedposts and broken homes
Misery loves company and this is a miserable orgy
Again, it’s all salt and skin to salt and skin
A teeth grinding sound like bow to string

I’m a shadowbox Casanova
Reciting words penned years ago
But when you come around
It’s all tetanus lockjaw, words without sound
So what, you said I caught your eye
It’s just another night I lost my breath
I’ll be sure to keep this breeze at my back
Because it’s 3am and I’m already packed

I hope you can still my fingers
Not to brag but I’ve heard my touch lingers
I’ve spent enough nights in the same jeans
It’s just another night, it seems
