(Come in, come in, you old true love)

Is it easier now?
Has the plastic been pulled from over your mouth?
Have you changed your address only to be spit out?
Have you tried a new approach,
Tried some time on an unmarked road,
Done some time on an unmade bed,
Siphoned heavy air from a window you never close?
I think it's time we left it alone
I think our time's more precious now
I think I'm figuring out how to live with myself

I think it's softer out now
But I find the needles sunken in are too fine to pull out
With so much left trivialized
Oh, and so little light in my eyes
You never saw
The way I ducked behind the couch
The night you shouted at the door
The jagged lines of your waveform
Imagined bliss in a sterile room
Imagined being free from you

We pull soil out of concrete
Forging rails out of dead trees
In empty rooms, empty doorways
We will sleep through our birthdays
Through the grief and the splendor
I'm not afraid of your temper
And we'll just stay in the gallows of our room
Until we're woken up

What have I here?
The substance has boiled off
The water is thin
I'm too tired to stay, I'm too tired to run
But where can I go?
Where can I go?
