lyrics

its not a statement of intent,im simply stating a fact love,
i know exactly what i am
every situation i create just to see how you will react
this is the storm before the calm
and have you heard the bitter words we spit that could be our salvation
but turned dead against us now
smoke rings and all the subtle things that somehow get lost in translation
all feel so useless to us now

so drag me to bed,and bore me to sleep
maybe we should severe ties,see im no longer transfixed
forget what i said,i no longer feel the need
when everythings been stripped away,reveals our bad mechanics

oh boring story,wont you tell me
where do i begin
stuck somewhere between starving to death and barely sober
still i continue day to day,putting just enough energy in
to keep this tired engine
just barely ticking over
i guess its fine to spend my time balancing acts,running a gauntlet
around all of the things i never said
are you still mine,curious design,
if it turns out i never wanted it?
with just this one thought in my head

so drag me to bed....

all the parts of this machine,
stripped down,laid bare
its unfair,you werent forwarned,
i run on a one speed gear thats perminantly on fast forward

so day to day i embibe
just enough to get me by
though neither of us would deny
that this engines running dry
it seems reliefs in light supply
neither of us willing to try
that we would learn to recognize
give up the ghost and let it die

answer me this,if you know,
what do we love?

so drag me to bed and bore me to sleep
maybe we should severe ties,see im no longer transfixed
that noise in your head,from which there's no relief
and all this nervous energy that serves to drive me frantic
if you want to stretch a point,allow me to get deep
no,i never lied,i guess i wasn't born romantic
forget what i said,i no longer feel the need
now that everythings been stripped away reveals our bad mehanics
