Brace yourself
I remember well
Brace yourself
I remember well
I remember when:
Sweeter than honey,
You crossed my mind
Too many times
Too many times
But I feel it changing now.
Yes, I know you're changing now.
Hunched over your music,
Something splits you inside
While I'm thinkin, I'm thinkin of
The floorboards shaking beneath us,
Maybe because of us
See this swelling
How it sends us spilling
Into the next motion.
But I can feel it passing now
Each blink and footfall
Steady now, steady now
Like a metronome,
Your steps,
Heavy and measured,
And heavy
Heading for the door
Heading for the door
Alright let's call it a game,
I'm not quite content, but close enough
Yes I'm close enough
To notice the dust
Floating around our heads
Making sounds too soft to hear
See this swelling
How it sends us spilling
Into the next motion.
But I can feel it passing now
Each blink and footfall
Steady now, steady now.
Why'd you think you could save us?
Why'd you think you could save us?
With only one hand?
And only one eye open?
Why...?
It doesn't end in laughter.
It doesn't end in silence.
It ends in indifference.
Brace yourself
Brace yourself
I – I remember well
