lyrics

You infiltrator
I welcomed you
You great stagnator
You deserted me

One frosted kiss and a revelation later
And my world was prised open
You came like a perpetrator in the daytime
No reason or rhyme
But treason and crime
Soon to turn traitor
You hollowed out a seismic cleft in my otherwise wise and deft
Picturesque monotony
Then spat on me
Albeit by proxy
But it hurt no less
Poxy, thoughtless disinterest
Spasmodically interspersed
With bodily fluidity
Humidity, viscidity, torridity
Coursing, breaking down rigidity
Sensing my lucidity
And sleepwalking senseless through hallways of my heart
Taking liberty with my dignity
Since you meant to me
More than that symbol heart with infinity

Given we had time to lose
I was emboldened by our victory
She was all avidity, avidity, avid to see
This cultivate organically
Just naturally
No catch
Just relief and reprieve and belief and believe me
I was keen to be the catalyst
But you began to slip
And twist
Relapse
Into self-fulfilling prophecy
And you pissed upon my sympathy
You pissed upon my empathy
You pissed upon our sanctity
And it drove me mad

It became that our proximity
Engendered organicity
I became complicit in
Giving spin to every bulletin
I felt within
And biting
I started wasting all my keratin
On hours of trusting
Lusting
Imagining thrusting
And trusting
And trusting
And she tried to save you
With sex and drugs and vegan bacon rolls
And our roles dripped away
Into the gutter
Minutes into every outreach
I would start and stop and stutter
Feel how my arms would
Frustrated
Tire and fall
And feel how my love
Would give way
To hollow
Breakdown
Of talk
That was disconnect
In seconds
My philosophy and trust
Faded from meaning
For I could not
Give love
To one who
Abstained from its touch
And I mourned
And I cried
And I raged
For the loss of a tender and lovely thing
That will never be
