about

all your friends are stains on some sheets that you'll throw away

lyrics

i damn my mouth and ears every time you hear me complain
as long as nothing moves as long as nothing's new it's okay

all your friends are stains on some sheets that you'll throw away
when you skip to the last half page and destroy the ending

save your stares for strays as you shuffle and back away
to a corner where you'll feel safe in your perfect ending

oh my so young and so pretty
hold your daughter close it just might spread
it's a crime still young and still pretty
calculate the dose and keep your head

through every stare she'll walk right on
keep your cares she'll still shine on

i'll keep my swallowed fears next to yours they taste like champagne
as long as no one moves I'll lie and look at you we're okay

through every stare she'll walk right on
keep your cares she'll still shine on
words like fair they're to cry on

so where's your pity now
i can't hear a sound
