lyrics

all the truth is just a dirty pair of glasses
all your words are just death and taxes
I tighten up while you relax and
my hands are loose and small in your hand

I guess I'm letting go
but I haven't let you know
I need you like I need a bottle of pills
and a pen filled with blood with which to write my will

You know I'm always scared to be alone
you are always happy to help me postpone
looking at the monsters under my bed
and exercising demons that live in my head
I guess it's cause you're inside me like them
more of a cancer than you are a friend
kill me with kindness pull wool over my eyes
a parasitic venomous trusted alibi

I loved you then and I love you now
this you know
you wouldn't pay the violation
so I let you go
