He knows not to call me baby
When the suns gone down
To its rising
Ill be angry

He gives me nothing when I'm hungry
It's my fault when I say
Give me
Empty rather than
Starving

I know
We're the same kind
He's in love with the lights
And the sun rise
The same way I
But I
Spitting fire and light
Grabbing onto nothing
Can't hold him
When light fills his eyes
We've got miles between us
And so much time
And lies

We've filled this room to its locks
with fear
And distance
And there's a shrill ringing from
Absence of desire

Baby I painted you in my picture
And I don't want to start again
You're the mess
all over my walls
And I'm too drunk off your name
To defend

I can't quit your game
A thousand words later
I'm too drunk off your name
A thousand beatings later and
You've got
A thousand baby's all the same.
