lyrics

I watched your body fade in the darkness
The last time you were seen
Lost some useful parts of my body
My head, my heart, and some parts in between

There was a dimming buzz around you
Like a man with a grenade in each pocket
And a pin in both hands
His wheels, smiling at the sun

Detoxing in my bed
I was afraid to touch you
—afraid not to touch you—
Talk of war and changes
Takes too much effort now
Detoxing in my bed,
I was afraid to touch you,
Afraid not to touch you.

The door was shut for three days straight
It's forgotten how to open now
Parts of you will cling here
For a long, long time
The sheets are wet from the sweat
of too much lying
I hear whispers behind gates
The hum of rocks thrown in my garden

All the things they asked of you
All the things they put you through
Your country's forgotten what you've given
But remembered everything you've taken
Close the door
I'm here now
Don't bother asking when or how
But I'll kiss you
And love you
And make this all go away
