Lyrics

[Verse: Protagonist] For every revelatory Find and change I have experienced in the last many days There is an absence A missing part The other breathing; Another human's beating heart But moreover, it's the talking over hurdles And the talking out of rashness The challenges to sadness That come from Hearing a voice that's not yours Deflecting every leap of logic That oozes from your pores I'm realizing now That ain't easy to find Don't need a body to hold I need eyes in the unknown So pick it up fast While you've still got the time Although you hate to admit it, you won't make it alone Said I'm dying Heard it's nothing but a chest cold Said I'm nothing Heard you're something to me Said there's something I'm not comprehending, where's the ending Heard you skid half a mile down Donohoe street Is where we left off Abrupt, your expression I hadn't recalled That was then, now we've ten days left And I'm wondering if you're up and what you're up to Creature of habit I knew right where to find you The old video store you worked at Must've been midnight You were bunkered in the back Midway through 'After Hours' on a tube tv And VCR by battery Teri Garr and Tommy Chong and 'Pay To Cum' I stood behind you and I watched You didn't notice I had come To interrupt your silence Your final moments Seemed the very last thing I should do So I backpedaled away from you Looked happier there Than I'd seen you in a while After all, 'twas I Needed a guide in the unknown So, genuine peace Must stem from being alone That's when you spun me around and put a dent in my shoulder [Verse: Protagonist and Violet] Violet: How'd you find me? Protag: Well, we run our sequence obviously Violet: If that's true, why aren't you locked in your home? I don't wanna die looking into your eyes Protag: Figured so, that's why I thought I'd get going Violet: You know, you're a curse. When I was seeking the best, it was like you actually wanted the worst Goddammit, boy, you got it You got those answers you were looking for, don't look so downtrodden Fuck! I tried anger, then I tried sadness, then I tried rage, then I tried crying I bet it thrilled you, to abandon someone I bet it cauterized quicker cause of just how hard I'd been trying I could've used someone here For this world ending ordeal Protag: I'm here right now Violet: But you may as well not be You can stay, if only for pity So you hit stucco stead of slinging through the streets
