We sat alone in the back of the house Don't talk, don't speak of anything at all I can't recall the words i've heard But it sounds absurd And it's more than i can take We're all dying slow I've felt a fever I just want you to know It's harder to cope With the rope tied to your bones The places we've been Amusing, they mean little to me Next to nothing but I am soundly asleep Because my batteries leaked so i'll dream That i will soon conquer something And i've spent my days With the ones who i love My grandfather spent them all alone His legacy is fabled It's worn and disabled but The worn torn princess won't bring him home Home to be alone Home to be alone Home to be alone Home to be alone Home to be alone Do you hear the mechanic in us? We're the best when our worst is all made up And i can feel her breathing from the other end Send a letter because my tongue is fading Don't you make a sound I know where you've been hiding out And don't you make a sound I can feel her breathing from the edge of town Oh, god, no, i won't know you Oh, god, no, i won't know you Know god the way that our friends do Take heart like the kind that we owe you
