lyrics

I bring it all back to life
With the click of a button
The masochist glutton
The lonely solipsist dream
That it was always nothing
But sometimes something

I conjured up a ruse
A new charade
Bravo, well played
You had a face to choose
The background fades
That was always your way

A love so old
It's gone forever
Extinct alone
Our love was severed
Get it back never
I lost the taste of home

Did I ever tell you why
I never wanted to die?
Fear kept me alive
Cease to exist because
Heaven's a lie
Hell I don't know why

I'm a tree, I'm a cricket, I'm a crow
The dream it spreads
The vows in my head
The vowels are harder
Than the bonds of wed
We break the bed
We sleep when we're dead
My feelings don't apply

A love so old
It's gone forever
Extinct alone
Our love was severed
Get it back never
I lost the taste of home

When the bees died
The green died, we died
At first a little on the inside
Then on the outside
I'm scared enough
To empty out my gutsy stuff
It's not too tough to cry
