lyrics

I bet she keeps a happy home
I bet she's pleasant to wake up to
but she sees her body as a ticking clock
that she never stops fussing about
as we hit all her set aside dates

And in her eyes I see my end
a gaze that never stops limiting
making small talk, dinner with friends,
my place is set and my bed is made
as my hair falls out in piles

These walls they suffocate me,
I'm afraid that we'll never be real
anxious glances, bitter sighs,
we're miles apart when I'm by her side
moving further every day

I think you've had too much to drink
you're being crass but I don't care
just keep on swinging at my face
just keep on biting on my ear

And in your eyes I see my end
a whirling fire burning
a tattered dress, and broken things
pulling me down on your roommate's bed
a bitter fall, but I'm willing

Your ways they frustrate me,
I'm afraid that I'll never be enough
take all the time you need
I'll just keep trying to keep up

You build me up, so high, so flushed
you make me lost, so drained, so numb
your legs, your voice, your cruelty, your scorn
I don't care, I want it all.
