lyrics

Nothing tastes quite the same
as relationships gone stale
Nothing lies as heavy on the tongue
as empty smiles and words

A thousand 'I love you's
paper-winged and set to soar
reduced to habit and course
nothing feels so bored

And where are all the answers?
The things that we should know
of one another?
Bared so much
shared so much
stared so starry-eyed so much
we're losing touch
why do we even bother?

A thousand 'I love you's
words written down in ink
weathered and feathering

A thousand 'I love you's
a thousand but not enough
to make the pigeon
more a dove

A thousand 'I love you's
breathed heavy and soft and sweet
catch and choke
and prick at throats
behind the eyes too
they don't ring true
