An evening undressing makes good for remorse The common stay careless while you've stayed the course A drink from the cabinet to fill the hole in your chest Collection of matches to burn names off a list Some homeostasis made less with remorse Once young but left aging while I'm rooting for the north And clear contentious litigation were the words from your mouth Clear controlled manipulation as you move to the south Unaware that I held on too long Crossing the river, pushing westbound a lake Ample time to run over the names in the stake So broke, so tired, still falling through the cracks They will tell next to no one and never talk back Unaware that I held on too long Tempting fate and sensing something's wrong Your plan's painfully loud But you still spell it out You and I remain honest faces laid to waste from the storm Two suspicious expressions, just trouble as we both dress the part Took me by the hand and pulled me in with centripetal force Despite the tough emerging temptation, my body stayed the course Your plan is painfully loud But you still spell it out Tempting fate, I'm telling no one
