lyrics

Bleeding on the bed again, ghosts echo up my spine.
Geographically crippled, prosaic and supine.
Is that your arm around my shoulder, or a noose around my neck?
You’ve lost your files in your folders and your truce to protect.
Companies of chaos, and no ground for respect.
No enemies to speak of, at least none we can detect.
The seats smell like pussy, and the streets smell like blood.
Nail me to a lamppost spilling from your golden tongue.

The trees are bending over; they’re bowing in lament
There’s no time for poetics or pallid sibilance.
You don’t need me anymore, not that you ever did.
You don’t love me anymore, not that you ever did.

You don’t love me anymore, not that you ever could.
