like hell-fire and brimstone, baby
tears tear at skin and leave open wounds on my cheeks
like holy water on a possessed soul
a demon has poisoned me
perhaps a cowardly incubus
or maybe a known vile day-dweller
im screaming to get out of this self-damned way of living
the slippery mud is turning to concrete
and everyday i gain my footing with you a little more
these feet are running too, in the oposite direction
i would rather waste my time somewhere else
so i could think about you all the same but with a few miles in between
its safer not being in your arms, you know
cos then im free to love you and you to love me
but we can take advantage of this space and grow like the vines that bind us
i could have stayed all curled up next to you in your warm, forgetful arms
but baby, ive got things to do and places to see that you dont exist in
and though im your valentine the flattery that you feel does not suit you
just cos i go out of my way does not make you special
you keep those comments to yourself when i tell you how much you mean to me
because you always say exactly the wrong thing at such terrible times
please, just wait until you know how to speak
i love being under your influence
and i love knowing more about you than anyone else
lets keep it that way because the only conflict here is me with myself
im through expecting you to prove your existence in my life to me
thats for me to unravel while im by myself
and i'll go have a beer with my friends
and your only presence will be in my thoughts
we've come a long way, darlin and im not givin up yet
my absence will be felt by you in the most dramatic of ways
i found this out while you fell asleep holding me
happy valentine's day you terrible, wonderful boy
"if you think you will fall in love and it will change your life, you're a jackass."-X
