The Box Was Ticked
The box was ticked
There was nothing i could do
'Cept sit back there and watch
As it all filled up with glue
All I could do was just drink a scotch
It took a chunk out as it fell to the floor
That steaming contraption won't work anymore
And why did we ever let it get to this?
Oh the world's only making stupid noises
Cos it wants to be your friend
But when i went to sleep last night
Seemed it was getting ready to end
Oh we tackled some issues
Tackled them from behind
And after our strong talking-to
We let them run off and hide
The snow is quickly melting
And winter was all my own
Don't confuse my nonchalance
With wanting to die alone
It's just my heart's got so tired
From peering into all the bush
Trying to make out the beady eyes
Before they make a rush
You can wait a few months
Just like i had to
Maybe there'll be nothing left
'Cept bones and scraps for you
I want to see you fight
I wanna see you cry
I want you to tear my heart so much
That i would rather die
And if love is such pain
Then why do we try
But if i'm going at all
I want you to die, to die
In the healing fires of love and
Get reborn for me
Fat chance
There was nothing i could do
'Cept sit back there and watch
As it all filled up with glue
All I could do was just drink a scotch
It took a chunk out as it fell to the floor
That steaming contraption won't work anymore
And why did we ever let it get to this?
Oh the world's only making stupid noises
Cos it wants to be your friend
But when i went to sleep last night
Seemed it was getting ready to end
Oh we tackled some issues
Tackled them from behind
And after our strong talking-to
We let them run off and hide
The snow is quickly melting
And winter was all my own
Don't confuse my nonchalance
With wanting to die alone
It's just my heart's got so tired
From peering into all the bush
Trying to make out the beady eyes
Before they make a rush
You can wait a few months
Just like i had to
Maybe there'll be nothing left
'Cept bones and scraps for you
I want to see you fight
I wanna see you cry
I want you to tear my heart so much
That i would rather die
And if love is such pain
Then why do we try
But if i'm going at all
I want you to die, to die
In the healing fires of love and
Get reborn for me
Fat chance
