In exhaustion Out caress Between mystic moon Footing the bills Creator of exchange Turgid light A lone following sage Holding my plight The empty calls Too calm is due Running into a lean burn Never having been asked And goodbye wouldn't sound The alarm trickled down She's gone again This close and free I'm in stilled waters clear Unable exhaustion Recurring fright That she's done shopping I'll find later My cardboard heart

Cardboard Heart
In exhaustion Out caress Between mystic moon Footing the bills Creator of exchange Turgid light A lone following sage Holding my plight The empty calls Too calm is due Running into a lean burn Never having been asked And goodbye wouldn't sound The alarm trickled down She's gone again This close and free I'm in stilled waters clear Unable exhaustion Recurring fright That she's done shopping I'll find later My cardboard heart
