Old Wine

You couldn't touch without feeling
I couldn't breathe without choking
And we were both tired of losing

So when the sun rose like curtains
It caught us scrambling for the exits
Just so unprepared to fall in love again

I didn't want to be a better thief
You didn't want to be a war machine
And I hadn't left you yet
Like those flowers on your doorstep

But I was old wine down the sink
Passed over for weeks
We both know you like to drink
Loosen those gears in your knees

And I was just there to pick you up
Fix your dress and fill your cup
And I didn't mind it yet
Your eyes still burned hot in my bed

Now you and I hide from everything
Like hemophiliacs
Fresh out of bandages
No, I’m not getting you back

So I'll just keep repeating it
Until I can't forget
But some things still slip my mind
Like how you fall apart
When the drinks hit you hard
But goddamn it, after all this time

I never quite got over you

Oh, dear God, I miss the way you screamed
I've got a house full of apathy
But I could never save you
I work better as a noose
So you’ve got no use for me

You’ll find a love like an old folks' home
Tasteless dinners and fragile bones
A warm place to rest
Surrounded by death
So you don't have to die alone

But you don't
