lyrics

Everyday I think
This bed is a rented bed
I do not belong

The bed herself is
A fertile place for comfort
But I am barren

Took quite a while to
Come to this conclusion
Je suis arrivé

Je suis très sèche
Each night I dream heavily
I am full again

Morning splashes in
I wake gasping for air
Tiny and prune-like

Another day to
Wish there were no more days here
Somehow hold on

Everything you loved and miss
Will never be the same
As it was when you loved it

All I want to say
Is I never meant to hurt
You like I have

I only ever
Destroy the delicate things
Well I don’t mean to

I do it because
My mind is convinced I don’t
Deserve a mind

It has convinced me
I don’t deserve you either
So it pulls apart

Anything in sight
That presents like a stillness
Body of water

I don’t mean to be
So thirsty it is all
I have ever known

Everything you loved and miss
Will never be the same
As it was when you loved it
