lyrics

A way to win by refusing to acknowledge a winner.

To lose by doing the same.

Lives designed to happen so fast they don’t happen.

But no complaints because it extends to the question of, ‘ok then what?’

And no one knows what.

And you don’t know what because usually you’re just relieved to not be in control.

And it’s always me against you.

And when I take you in as mine, you love it.

I take you in and give you back as someone you tried to abandon a long time ago but couldn’t, and never will. Never never never.

But yeah, for you, anything.

For you, a field of dandelions with diamond heads, sunlit and waving.

For you, all the bricks from heaven such that their shadow freezes you long before you’re crushed.

For you, less and less of me each time.

A life of lessening.

Life like dying batteries.

Righting the debt right before the rewinding.

A monster with a head made of a hundred toothless mouths.

And no way to defeat it but jump in.

A monster with a head full of knives that never dies, just stumbles around shrieking.

And no way to help it but let it die.

For you, I would hunt myself for years.

For you, I’d die of any illness, or all in a row, with thousands of years of suffering.

For you, that is the least payment.

Wishing you and anyone else all the happiness you can handle, from the other side of this endless and impenetrable and imaginary glass divider, too cold myself to even register any steam.

Like you’ve always known me and like I’ll always be.

Already on to new problems.
