lyrics

Turns of phrase, twists of tongue
So much age for one so young
Whilst I wonder from whence you came
There are so few who know your name

Asymmetry, but a propos
Drawn to what we do not know
So surreal, I'll take the chance
And return that longing glance

Shit gets real, find the door
Before you feel anything more
Lights come on, take the stage
Tell the stories from that page

The one you wrote before my eyes
Inspired there between my thighs
Disappear as you arrived
Without warning, by surprise

[CHORUS]
Now all I see are recurring themes
Morbid patterns, broken dreams
Struggling to learn what it means
But it means nothing at all
It takes up space inside my head
Bleeds me dry, leaves me for dead
For all the times that it's been said
You'd think by now that I'd have given up on love

Silence is deafening, it's true
Desperately waiting for a signal to come through
Eventually you'll walk away
And lie to yourself that it's better off this way

Maybe someday I'll understand
Why nothing seems to go as planned
Starting back now at square one
For the record, it's been fun

[CHORUS]
