What Do Lies Taste Like?
My memories of you are rain
Cold and wet on sidewalks,
settling in cracks and flooding valleys
And you won't stop
You were always relentless
and now you're everywhere:
in red and white street signs on bent steel poles
in lights and in traffic
in shop windows and parking lots
You are the world you stole from me
...and your indifference is as disgusting
as your intentions
And yes,
I can fault you for your shotgun obsessions
when I'm the one who takes the bullet
In love with me?
You're just trigger happy
and I was always such an easy target
Ready? No.
Aim? With your eyes closed.
Fire? Take your best shot.
And make sure you run away
before anyone can ask questions
And make sure you leave lots of fingerprints
so I'll never forget who did this to me
...because your intentions are just as vicious
as the way that you love
But you're still everything
You're still every
little
thing
And my memories of you are rain
Furious and abundant,
seeping through roofs and drowning flowers
and it just
won't
stop.
