Linoleum

White walls and a picket fence
The paint dried up
And soaked you in
Your mother's watch
Over cardboard enterprises

The queen just died
And cancelled flights
Your liver's torn
But so is mine
You shaved your head
And went to bed

I guess that's the way that we're supposed to
Throw our hopes on this linoleum floor
But I swear I've never been as close to
Breathing out or breathing in

And I've changed the dates of your wikipedia page
Now the words don't read the same anymore

It's been years since I called you a friend
So out of sight, dialling in again
Wading through waters under the bridge

It's just the way that we're supposed to
Bury our friends under linoleum floors
Cause I swear I've never been as close to
Giving up while you give in

And I'll lay my cards out on the table
Stare at our hometown full of disgust
So are you unwilling or unable
Come back out or I'll come in
Come back out or I'll come in
