This was pretty much the antithesis of a "clean break."

[flamesinger]

"I believe in clean breaks.
I keep the old troubles away,
but you're making sure
I was lying when I said,

'I can leave
this behind.'

I need you to ruin me
for this, finally,
'cause it's burying me.

Now, I'm in these old knots.
Each move keeps me locked away.

With each new embrace,
I've tied myself up
more tightly
into you.

Oh, but the more I fight,
and the deeper I'm trapped,
and I can't break free
of this hold that you have.

And I crave you more
under the heat of your touch.

And I need your skin
to ruin me
for this wicked town
where your ghosts are bound
to me,

one last sacrfice
of this ritual
escape.

I was lying when I said,
'I believe (in this ritual)
in clean breaks.' "

- Dashboard Confessional, "Clean Breaks"

Yes, this is pretty much exactly how I feel right now.  That which began with a Dashboard Confessional song now ends with one as well.
