Taming The Shrew

I had my arms full of candy & medicine
I just wanted to make sure you're alright
My mouth: a swimming pool filled with gasoline
I answered all your tired thoughts with a smile

As golden lights turned the skin around your shoulder blades
Into a landscape so beautifully wild
I saw rivers with the blood of pretty enemies
They all seeped somewhere between your eyes

Those golden landscapes, they love the night
I can't tell you what it's like
To be tired of a life
That you thought to be a painless flight

We watched the world with big eyes, we've been everywhere
But I started to stay the same
As those Spanish guitars inhaled foreign airs
I already couldn't recall your name

Cause my mind ran in circles, my blood was loud
You felt the same beat but saw different signs
We thought I knew every part of you in and out
Just please pretend I changed my mind

Cause golden landscapes love the night
I'll never tell you what it's like
To be tired of a life
That you thought to be a painless flight

No, I'm alright
I still remember the times past the blues
When I slept through the nights

When I see you next time I'll be a silhouette
I'll try to cover your lines with mine
Oh, I swear I'll use the whole alphabet
Except for b and u and c and y

I'll have my mouth full of candy and medicine
And I'm hiding my face from the sun
I'll be the the same nervous ghost I've always been
But my skin seems golden, now you're gone
