While this lil’ town is heaving brains, binding my heart to concrete chests
How can I smile at dust which outlines shapes from the past?
But this parking lot has fucking drowned in all the stoppers we’ve uncorked.
Annihilation of everything that hasn’t left a mark.
My subconscious is the one that recognizes what lasts.
I’ve never saved my mind. I’ll never save my mind.
What’s really worth? Who really knows?

You know, these eyes weigh like boulders.
Nighttime worries cloud my mornings, I thought she could be my hawser. Some nights ago we sank in a stranger’s bed
and in the darkest hours she stole my angst by inhaling my breath.
9 a.m. light showed me that I cared.
She hid her chest in white blankets and in apologies that won’t mend my constant headache. I drink myself to sleep so I can somehow leave, embracing the fog in this city’s atmosphere.
How can I trust your words? Do I really deserve something better? When you’re used to bad luck it’s easy to find yourself safe under ladders.
We're living disgraces, I thought I needed someone to need this place.
besides I’m soaked, feeling my way through four miles of rain all alone,
still buried between apartment listings and phone calls.

Afraid to leave my skin, I’m still too comfortable stuck in it.
I barely know I’m here, dazed by your breathe.
Hiding in a place where I don’t belong,
I plan the escape from this insane maze.
Just to attend my own crime scene.
Hide me from my crime scene!

I’ve come to terms with my old self:
nothing stood still when I left.
It’s hard but nothing faints,everything changes.
The daily apathy I felt won’t be fed by bottles of deterrents or loose ends no more.
but there’s something that still keeps me awake, in the gloom of this stranger’s flat:
I had a breakdown on a late train last week
and I told you I feel guilty for being here.
And I made myself a promise, it’s about not letting myself dull my mind all alone.
And I made myself a promise, it’s about not letting myself dull my mind all alone.
I saw her cry from the train window, I cannot lie, I felt invisible.
