you've let your cares go like loose petals
and all i'd ever learned was precision, responsibility
and you think of yourself as therapy
you think a **** lot of yourself actually
you've got vines lacing themselves through my rib cage
and you think you're some great release
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you
that i need things other than just your touch?
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you that
when you love someone, you don't just hold them
you give them your everything
you pack up the thoughts that the world's just built for one
and you bury the suitcase
you don't live out of it
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you
that apathy is poison?
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you that
you shouldn't poison the ones you love?
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you
that when i undress for you i feel exhausted?
you've extracted the life from me like its an occupation
you've got weeds growing through your hair
you've pulled all the flowers
and you won't take the time to wonder about the detriment it causes
you don't take time to wonder at all
you think the unknown is something to be forgotten
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you that i'm full of unknowns?
wasn't anyone ever going to tell you that
without the risks and the passion and the unknowns, you're simply
dead inside?
