lyrics

I’ve invested everything
In lame and legless horse racing
And if I could wage my losses
I would win them back and more tonight
Now clear with understanding
With faith and will I’d double-down
That if I was any other boy
You would look at me the same way!
The pillow in your lips runs parallel
With my sealed and callous heart

I read the twisted echo
Of sleeping light in empty bed sheets
In the loving words you carved
In the trunk of my tree
The window panes that I look through
Are not the same ones growing in your belly
I backed up slow as you reached out
Shaking tears out of insecurities
My reflection in your eyes
Said I want you but I don’t need you

You screamed your copper vows
And bleated ‘I-love-yous’
What do I and the other boys
have in common
Except our bodies?

Now when I hear a whispered, “I love you”
I am deafened with, “I’m lonely.”
