Remember Everything

Darling yer so cynical
laundered your heart with chemicals
just one too many times
now there's x's for your eyes

Underneath the microscope
with all the things you couldn't cope
its a further fall from where you stood
from such a privileged neighbourhood

But our tongues
are tied around each other
we are well hung
from the branches of our brothers arms
if it was up to me
id leave the light on when you sleep
wrap a ribbon around your finger
to remember everything

So you make your bed
and say your prayers
air out all the stagnant stares
that left ring around your roses
and you pockets full of rotten poses

in-between the bars
and better off than your dark heart
everyone feels like an animal
all alone and in the dark

But our tongues
are tied around each other
we are well hung
from the branches of our brothers arms
if it was up to me
id leave the light on when you sleep
wrap a ribbon around your finger
to remember everything
remember everything
