lyrics

Human Frailties
I can love you from afar I can love you in my rear view mirror but I can’t love you in real life in real time only from afar cause there’s something missing in me like a tree with no limbs a kid with no mum a bird with one wing unhinged undone you can hear it in my voice I want to blame someone we were lovers in the night it kind of felt right but rightness has a shelf life an expiration date oh my wife oh my life cut the jugular let the heart do all the work bend only with instruction like multiplication tender as the night skies over me when you feel you’ve done your time put on that sympathetic mask empathic perception illicit abasement score one for the little hollow girl there’s two hundred and six bones in your body how many of those did I break how many melodies are left have they all been used up have all the words been taken so nothing new can be written I wonder I wonder don’t you? deep set dented expressionless muted worthless useless fruitless pointless hypocritical artificial and cynical there’s two hundred and six bones in your body how many of those did I break hands by your side clench your fists there’s tightness in your jaw be careful of your wrists bend at your hips watch your knees in all likeliness you’ll fall cause it’s your human frailties
