lyrics

DO WHAT YOU CAN

christ help you in your body
you are lost in a storm
and if it's safe and warm it's still a storm

I want to leave you in five minutes
or tomorrow and if it really hurts I'll never know

what's waiting in line in a dark apartment for
you make it seem like its okay
swat my deepest wound
because you buy the food
let it rot in the fridge
I'm prepared to lose you

into another room
into the fabric of clothes and I leaned against the shirts
and I'll never know you

you're a man
you do only what you can

the door has been opening and closing
and you shut them
and you build them
and you lock them
and you're blind
and I'm blind

a figure of 8 in a chain of breathing
chain it to yourself
you look at me but who's the fool
if it's easier for you to be cruel

if it's easier for you to be cruel
