Motor Functions

Yo I could
Use a week off from the weed and the wine
And a break from all of the deceit and the lies
You said the words like they were your last
"I only want what I can't have"
Well I use to be a stronger man
You used to be a better lover
But it's all the same in love and shame
And sweat between the covers

I've lost and
I've won and
Nothing ever changes
It's always the same as
It was
Before it had begun

The man I used to love
Now a small and hollow husk
Finding answers in the chances
I never did enough
Like motor functions lost to faulty wires
We're disconnected my love
Worn out and tired

Could we be clean again?
My hands are soaked
Like every other night you lead me
Below

You know he's not the one
But you'll stay on this ship til it sinks to the bottom of
Your heart
That chemical mess
Of lipstick stains and cigarettes, oh

Who are you fooling
I know, you know
We're breaking into the patterns and shapes
The most human failure
I am your failure
You see it every time that you gaze in the mirror
No

It's not coming back, but
Who would want that
I need more than the past than the good that we had
Like bones that won't mend right til they're broken apart
Have the heart tonight
To finish what you started

You were waiting for someone
To lead you astray, I'll say
"No worries man, it's okay
Cause you don't know me"
And I'll hold my head up proudly
I've got no worries left at all
You know nothing about me
You don't know you're wrong
And I know you're wrong
Yeah I know you're wrong
