No. Cannon in D you have no emotional hold on me,
It's just repressed dark energy.
Still, after all these years of putting on my best,
I loath that I like a wedding dress.
Some fucking collection of words to make you feel
Something good, something you'd call "real".
I've learned that trusting someone and feeling safe with them,
It ain't one in the same.
My nights of nothingness with someone I associated with.
The space where I should be the space where you should be.
We're not on the same level are we?
I've learned how to cut myself off emotionally.
The master gets married, becomes obsolete.
My nights of nothingness with someone I associate with.
When a woman shows grit you call her mean,
So for 23 years you keep it all clean.
But some fella doesn't like you and he calls you "tough".
That's the time you start wondering
"What's he got that ain't enough?"
Call me what you will and call me what you like.
I got more important things to do than be polite
With my nights of nothingness with someone I associated with.

Waiting on ya'll is a long long empty wandering.
Disappearing's your bread and butter.
Save for me
Save for me
There's no one else who'll come running.
When it's fall and the sads cave in your hallow,
That's when I'll be waiting
I'm always waiting.
Save for me
Save for me
There's no one else who'll come running.
And when all my energy's been tapped out on you
You just call, and I'm up running, I'm falling in devotion.
Save for me
Save for me
There's no one who'll destroy themselves for you.
Save me
Save me
We're only alive if we're bleeding it seems.

Well apothecary, apothecary
I'll let you in on something scary.
I think I love a girl
But that no longer carries weight in this world.
To love and to be left alone,
A fence to build and a house to own,
That's all gone passed in the wind,
Even you must meet you end now.
Your job's no longer around.
So little space left in this town.
The cemeteries took it all.
A piece of pie and a spider's crawl.
Well pharmacies took on the debate;
The shady pill and the magic cure.
Well they still live to thrive, but it's a different world now.
You can pay your poverty with pills,
But you can't pay your poverty with will.
No no.
Apothecary, apothecary
The situation is getting hairy.
I'd rather die than live in a world
Where I'm followed round by boys' and girls'
Heart strings are tugging walls are melting,
Is there no cure for all I've felt?
And ooo, such mortal drugs there should be.
You can pay your poverty with pills,
But you can't pay your poverty with will.
You can pay your poverty with pills,
But you can't pay your poverty with will.
You're singing ahooo, no.
You're singing ahooo, no.
You're singing ahooo no no
You ain't no Romeo.
