lyrics

If I caught you
talking to me
the way I do

I would resist the inclination
to put your fucking face in:
cracked mirror needs replacin
someday soon

So when I
was talkin to you
the way you do

I empathize with your frustration
It's a private self-debasement
the words always last longer than the bruise

the bruise, the bruise
the words always last longer than the bruise

So now I talk to me
and you talk to you

Days are long, drawn-out and sickly
Nights get vicious pretty quickly but
the words always last longer than the bruise


the bruise, the bruise
the words always last longer than the bruise
