lyrics

Brittle


I don’t worry about my body,
I’m not concerned with my soul
Beyond a certain point they are beyond my control
And I don’t worry about you,
because I don’t know where you are
And I’m never going to know
I’m never gonna know

I don’t look for consolation, it’s not for me to find
It’s happenstance at best, if it shows
I still have your address,
And I used to love your doorway
Somewhere I’ll never go again
Someplace I’ll never know again

Living without you
I’m just a house without a roof
The wind and rain, they blow right through me
And the midday sun comes and dries me out again
And leaves me that much more brittle to the touch every time
Every time

I finally let my heart break, now the tissue’s covered over
Feels a little funny when it moves
My favorite place in my living room
Is a dark square on the wall where our picture used to hang
That never faded in sun
And I might paint over it in a month or two
In a week or two
Maybe soon

Living without you, I’m just a house without a roof
The wind and rain, they blow right through me
And the midday sun comes and dries me out again
And leaves me that much more brittle to the touch every time
Every time
