Pomp and Circumstance

I guess it started last Saturday
All the commotion with our mouths wide open
We exorcised all the demons inside
That we had tried to hide
For the last nine months of our lives
Something about her friend Darren
How it's been growing evermore apparent
That I don't care for her
And she doesn't care for me
And we don't care to be in each other's company
So I said

What's the deal with all the pomp and circumstance?
We're all adults here, let's not dance around the issue
So say what you want
Say what you mean
Say what you need me to do
To make it up to you

So she was gone by Sunday
The potted plants she left behind were dead by Monday
And I envy them, they make me feel that when
I cross that line the grass is greener on the other side
The balcony at my apartment
Evokes enticing imagery of a plateau's escarpment
I'm just a leap of faith away
From rock bottom today
An empty coffin for an early grave
So tell me Doc

What's the big idea with all the pomp and circumstance?
We're both aware it's clear that I
Need to be medicated
So do what you can
To get what I need
To help myself see this thing through
When my Medicare rebate's approved
