Night, Shortly

I've been asked to forget you

It's the last thing I want

But the first thing I need

I am thirsty and grieving

Thirsty and grieving

I need words to believe in

And so I'll bleed the radiators

I'll stock the fridge

When I work and I'm seething

I am burst and I'm knee-deep

Burst and I'm knee-deep

You go first or I'm leaving

You say ineffable

I say inevitable

Go run back to your other self

And put the flowers back on the shelf

You are love-blind and bleeding

I'm cross-eyed and I'm clueless

Now at last, I regret you

And the first day we met

Seems a lifetime ago and how

But the right line to toe now

And you might find it cold, but how did you expect me to be?

You say ineffable

I say inevitable

Go run back to your other self

And put the flowers back on the shelf

You are love-blind and bleeding

I'm cross-eyed and I'm clueless

Use the hours, don't count them

I did nothing good today

I've been asked to forget you

It's the last thing I want

But the first thing I need
