So Long - No. 2

Looks like we’re progressing

The cold fever you kept in your clothes

Thunderclap of the door slam

I don’t know where your memory goes

To some loose attachments

That mean less instead

When you ask me to accept you’re already dead

You paid for your protection

Prisoner of a made up mind

The wrong kind of attention

The only part of it that’s kind

A dead-bolt in a loose hole

Couldn’t hold anyone back

When the temperature goes up from blue to black

I’ve never felt more helpless

When you say you’re gone

Close your eyes and try to speak

Don’t say so long

So fucking wrong

you keep trying to protect me

From something that you just can’t say

Or keep me from connecting

Your long nights that bog down days

Get into the full sweat

Woke up walking alone

And no one in your the life has ever known

I’ve never felt more helpless

When you say you’re gone

Close your eyes and try to speak

Don’t say so long

I’ve never felt more helpless

When you say you’re gone

Close your eyes and try to speak
