lyrics

Do you realize every time you argue
you are just igniting a part of you that's in me?
And for a man so at peace
you sure seem to have more dissonance inside than you're willing to confront.
This is probably a rift that will exist forever.
And I say that because it has.
You always fuck up my last word by overlapping it with your own.

This in itself is a waste of ink, waste of breath.
We don't have that many days left...

So I'd rather read Flowers for Algernon
or watch Bill Moyers on TV
or listen to '52 Weeks' in its entirety.
I could OD on Chloraseptic with a throat this sore
but keeping quiet while listening to accusations is such a chore.
And I say that because it is.
So this morning I'm holding in my venom and telling my ego to go back to bed.
