lyrics

(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
