Chloroform Perfume

The end result of so many meetings Late night diners with no one eating We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee Count the tiles upon the ceiling Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying But don't beg me to keep your eyes from crying You said so much without ever parting your lips Past 3am and im still far from sleep This is a habit that i cant break And my only company Is skipping stones And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand The street lights flicker like this match in my hand And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand begging to strike Beggin to strike And I keep repeating but this payphone tel is stopped receiving Flat out of change now im sure you wont accept the charges Its all the same cause by the morning ill be half way to Colorado or some place like that You said so much without ever parting your lips Past 3am and im still far from sleep This is a habit that I cant break And my only company Is skipping stones down this suburban street She keeps on asking so you think it hurts much to die Well its hurting so much more to stay alive now Shes gonna find out how much it hurts to die She lifts her perfume up to death Filling in my lungs So ill pull in the deepest breath And drop my head
