I massacred the afternoonnTo the sound of rain drumming against parked carsnI drenched myself in desperate colors for younI was dripping for your sympathynnI wear this weakness on my sleevenI'd like to put you on, I'd like to wear you outnSolitary day, forgive me for the blood you shednCity night, hear my footstepsnThey echo through these empty streetsnnI've been haunting this apartment at nightnClosed lips, abandoned ships, straightened paper clipsnAnd I get nauseous when the light isn't rightnI listen faithfully when they illuminate for mennI wear your greatness on my spinenI'd like to steal your words, I'd like to make them minenSolitary day, forgive me for the war I wagednCity night, hear my heartbeatnIt echoes through these flooding streetsnnAnd we can save ourselves from sinking
