Şarkı sözleri

the answer came
like a shot in the back
while you were running from
your lesson
which might explain
why years later
all you could remember
was the terror of
the question
plus, you weren't listening
you were stockpiling canned goods
making a bomb shelter
of our basement
and i can't believe
you let the moral go by
while you were soaking in
the product placement
and where was your conscience?
where was your consciousness?
and where did you put all those letters
that you wrote to yourself
but could not address?
i'm a good kisser
and you're a fast learner
and that kinda thing could float us
for a pretty long time
then, one day you'd realize
you've memorized my phone number
and you'll call it and find
it's a disconnected line
cuz i got tossed out the window
of love's el camino
and i shattered into a shower
of sparks on the curb
you were smoking me
weren't you?
between your yellow fingers
you just inhaled and exhaled
without saying a word
where was your conscience?
where was your consciousness?
and where did you put all those letters
that you wrote to yourself
but could not address?
there's a smorgasbord of unspoken poisons
a whole childhood of potions
that are all bottled up
so, one by one, i am dusting off labels
i am uncorking bottles
and filling up cups
so go ahead and have a taste of your own medicine
and i'll have a taste of mine
but first let’s toast to the lists
that we hold in our fists
of the things that we promise to do
differently next time
cuz the answer came
like a shot in the back
while you were running from
your lesson
which might explain
why years later
all you could remember
was the terror of the question
plus, i'm not listening
to you anymore
my head is too sore
and my heart's perforated
and i’m mired in the marrow
of my (well… ain't that) funny bone
learning how to be alone
and devastated
and where was my conscience?
where was my consciousness?
and where do i put all these letters
that i wrote to myself
but cannot address?
