Wednesday (Live)

[Verse 1]
Something in the envelope she passed him
Weighed more to him than paper and some ink
It had the hint of something darker and a hint of something sweet
With a little extra glue right on the tip
Something in the pain that shot right through him
As he climbed up to the place he called his home
They say every man's house should be his palace
But his castle stank of cat shit and alone

[Pre-Chorus]
So he opened it and found a faded picture
Of a girl he's never met, but somehow seen
Like a memory of a dream from early childhood
Like a virgin's idea of release

[Chorus]
She said "I can bend my arms until they're backwards
"But you can't bend your will to take in mine
And I could hold my breath until next Wednesday
And still be doing fine"

[Verse 2]
He was sad in ways that he couldn't tell her
But she tried to make his sadness all her own
And he couldn't see the use in spreading sadness
So he took his dark depression and went home
There were things in him that he never bargained
But it wasn't enough to save either one of them
Because she took that sadness one step further
And left him all alone to face the end

[Outro]
Alright, wait
Hey, Spet, you out there?
