Sit on your TV, you are the weary-child jesus glowing in the tubes
Sell him what's not yours, if you act now what's more, he'll throw in the towel for you
We will wait a lifetime for these drugs to enlighten, been fighting them all night long
You spread yourself veiny like a jukebox junkie stuck on that same sappy song
And when the bar closes and the bartender moseys your hope back towards perpetual truth
Without carrying on, I will wonder anon, who's the one you crawl home to lie into
I'm finding it harder and harder to love you each day
And you carry on like nothing, nothing has changed
I wore your breath proudly, a garland, a copy of some rhetoric I picked up on the street
When you vacate the scene, wrapped in yellow patine, please leave the holes you tore out of me
Believe me I know less of, the struggles your ex-loves, embarked on when you felt smothered
They stood up for you, but you sat somewhere subdued, while they ripped the hearts right out of each other
Yet still I shake it, the obvious image, of you eclipsing the things we hold dear
When a perfect union, the sun marrying some moon man, shatters the days into years
I'm finding it harder and harder to love you each day
And you carry on like nothing, nothing has changed
We break into our own houses, sneak past their spouses, the child in us turned off and alone
It's a terrible crime, yet somewhat sublime, to commit what you came to escape from
I starve in your poor heart, donate blood to kickstart, so we can float face down for the thrill
They'll call it a fad, to laugh though we're sad, while we pull out our feelings with pills
Would you look at this morning, the clear skies and the boredom, when will the endless days end
As a kid I once knew, what now makes me confused, where do our dreams go to die my friend
I'm finding it harder and harder to love you each day
And you carry on like nothing, nothing has changed
