lyrics

so my cuffs smell like wine
i've blood on my mind
pretensions that i might have stayed, if i'd the time
when there's nowhere to go
to leave's all i know
you can bandy all the words you own, but none of mine

and maybe this way
i'll learn something someday
it won't work on me, i forget so quickly
what a disgrace

that morning i woke
to two packs of smokes
a headache and a fruitless plan, never invoked

you had it right!
a flagrant oversight
now i'm worse for wear but don't i wear it well

well i know what i'm not, conceded my lot
wandered into an impasse that i begot
& there bartered my mirth and far more than it's worth
for something poignant and profound i then forgot

and maybe this way
i'll learn something someday
it won't work on me, i forget so quickly
what a disgrace
