lyrics

Intro:
Hold me close
grab my hand
bundled up in clothes

Put my mind at ease
give me a break from
all the things I need

Wrap me up
in robes of human comfort

And for just a moment
I won't feel so
goddamn alone

Verse 1:
Shallow words
and fleeting memories

A quick fix for
for feeling empty

So fix your needle
and find your vein

And shoot it fast
something to kill the pain

Chorus:
Lay my will
at the foot of the bed
with the rest of our clothes

And hold me close
like lovers do
when they have something more

Verse:
It's a bad desire
as far as they go

To look for comfort
in someone else's soul

And try as I might
it bites me over again

Before its over they're gone
Someone else
to light
the dark
that they're in

Chorus (extended):

(Chorus 1)

And as we lay
know that this
will soon be part of the past

An image of love
made from
nothing more than a cast
