lyrics

We sat in her car
Dark and apart
You never told me
How you felt
She answers slowly
And I don’t
And then it set in
The walls closing in
There was no mystery to exploit
Just distance piercing
Through the void
Never let you mess with you
The sober truth progresses you
Well this introspection smells like cheap cologne
And that falseness is degrading to my soul
While the hospital’s a stranger and I’m young
It’s a tragedy to Narcissus this love
Where reflections turn investments
And the sentences obsessive
Desperate search for some transcendence
From this pensive less-than nest-building
We sat in her car
Dark and apart
You think you know me
Well I don’t
The grips control me
But they won’t
I’ll never give in
It’s about to begin
Surrender wholly
To one hope
