lyrics

I'll address all your confusion
From the cliff I'm standing on,
It seems your broken constitution,
Lay beneath the Pantheon
Of your accomplishments and setbacks,
And all the love you let dissolve,
So, let the anguish drip down from
Those ugly wounds you tore apart.

Is it so wrong
To ask that you just understand
That I have a purpose,
Though it not may not fit with your plans.
Mineola just won't look the same again
As your crocodile tears have been
Embroidered in my head for days on end.

The shades of white,
The stench of sterile words on lazy afternoons.
You had me dancing in my cubicle,
The cork board shook until the pins dislodged,
And all your photographs had slipped onto the floor,
The cadence blended into sirens,
Camouflaged by our front door.

Is it too much
To battle for something you love?
Can I have a purpose
Without your fangs cutting me up?
Mineola just won't look the same again
As your crocodile tears have been
Embroidered in my head for days on end.

Those monday morning appetites
For getting into complicated fights
About my money or my train rides,
I apologize, but not because I didn't try,
More so because you'll never find the time
To keep in balance someone else
Who'll make you glad to be alive.

You'll have your perfect little life.

But if there's something, here, of value
In turning the sky a shade of gray,
I hope that you can give a reference
Before I paddle into the waves,
When did our love become so calloused?
When did we just fall apart?
I'm just a blemish, a laceration
On the surface of your heart.

Mineola just won't look the same again
As your crocodile tears have been
Embroidered in my head for days on end.
