Lachrymose Obsequious Vehement Elated Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Love, four words explode above a mnemonic device 

To remember how it feels when I am with you 

The glass can't hide 

My wounds will find the salt around the rim 

And the sting won't help this bleeding heart forget you 

Perfect lines like space and time extend across my room 

But they don't help me get any closer to you 

But open the door and the clouds come in and find you sleeping on the floor 

Get used to the numbness you won't have to feel that anymore 

But maybe I would be better off if I just answer quickly 

And make no distinction 

If it is going up or coming down 

It gets confused with progress it is only motion 

And all this time still hanging on to such codependence 

I will fall completely 

And all the lines you drew for me to walk 

Well I walked them well didn't I? 

It is one less tongue that bends to say your name 

As I drive away the love songs play on my lonely radio 

But I shut them off because all they do is make me miss you so much more 

And so remains these twisted days I spend time by myself 

And attempt to make this failing heart continue to beat 

So open your mouth and the smoke pours in 

It tastes so lonely we are so bored 

Just breathe in the numbness you won't have to feel that any more 

But maybe I'd be better off if I just end this quickly 

It is not romantic 

I am just giving up and shutting down 

I am just so sick of thinking my head is broken 

And in this aching bed we are lying on you get your forced confession 

I am fucking lonely 

And all the lines you drew for me to walk 

Well I walked them well didn't I? 

Now there is one less tongue that will bend to say your name
