lyrics

Can you give me one last kiss
Before you push me off over the edge?
I’ve tried to inoculate myself
But every time I try I fail

Come away with me, into the hollow space
Where you left me when you went away
I’m just a pet, a beast of burden for you to cannibalize
I will not be your meal or hear
Your lies

I’m afraid there’s no one left to talk to
I’m afraid my dear they’ve all moved on

So you’ve gone out on your way
To break more hearts, or mend them, none can say
I find myself angry and chagrined
None to accept what I have to give (not likely)

Come away with me, into the hollow space
Where you left me when you went away
I will not bend to this, I will build a box around this prize
Constrict my heart’s fair bleeding, brace myself
And ward my eyes

I’m afraid there’s no one left to talk to
I’m afraid my dear they’ve all moved on
But if you feel it deep down in your soul
Perhaps some old poor fool will give you love
