Fallen lovers and useless friends
Must you glare?
As life uncovers our unions pulled threadbare
Pleasure taps it’s vein
I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full

As embers blast my heart
Broken where I’d stop
I used to know
What a wish was for

What a wish was for
Stolen like a lark
Flicks on tender wrists
Abuse the modern mind
Crush on what you’ll find
La-la-la-la-la…
