lyrics

My mind is flitting like a summer fly
But it’s not this conversation forcing me to lose my mind
Maybe it’s the buzz of this awful coffee sludge
That won’t let me now unwind

I’m trying hard to write a loving line
But atrocities and niceties are melding in my mind
I’m searching through the rot of these twitterings and froth
For some praise that I can mine

We don’t cry like we used to
We don’t move like we did
We don’t cry like we used to
Like we did

I’ve lost my clothes and shoes in hotel rooms
And I left my faith and youthful rage in vans that I don’t own
But I still chuck a fuck around when trying to talk about the how’s
Of poetry and power

We don’t cry like we used to
We don’t move like we did
We don’t cry like we used to
Like we did

And I’ve forgotten how it feels to touch
A body that is trembling I’m missing it so much
Maybe that’s the way of these late, late summer days
When the fruit has turned to mush

We don’t cry like we used to
We don’t move like we did
We don’t cry like we used to
Like we did
