lyrics

broken plates litter the floor
i thought that we had said
that we don't do this anymore
a lightbulb buzzes in the silence
suspended over your head
and when you finally speak
your voice is robotic and dead
i watch sweat bead on your cheeks
as you pry free your keys
throw your keychain back at me
you're not sleeping here tonight

the warm weather in keelung
is easier to tolerate
when you're not pressed
up against me all night
your memory keeps me bolting upright
waking up frightened
with a gasp on my lips

i see your face and my heart
drops into my guts
and my smile grows so large
i think my mouth might swallow me whole
"nothing can hurt me when you're by my side"
my words ring in the air
as blood pools before me
your whole body
shaking like a leaf
i'm looking at you
you're looking at me
