Mons Calpe (alt take) (free) 03:01
(2011) she never left the basement a day well spent or call it wasted another temporary home and a temporary warmth of her own skin that now she's sinking in misery is as misery does cold is to feel as cold is to touch wishing is as wishing does nothing to feel as nothing to touch just to touch base with not save face with another round of expertly told lies a helping of excuses on the side now the chance is wasted another chance wasted oh will you ever take it oh will you ever take it under a fluorescent wash an awkward greeting if I'd only known it'd be that we'd have a final meeting I'd have I'd have said so much more but there's only so much you can say with words
