They walked like two kids
Guilty with all their discoveries hidden
Drove fast from the skids
Insisted he wanted to pay, and he knew that he didn't
“I was wondering if you had a vacancy
We are sleepy, do you have a place for me to sleep?”
But silently, “Have you forsaken me?”
With no bags on the floor
They ordered a dinner and feasted like Philistines
With no bags anymore
They gazed into eyes and she acted like she was still nineteen
“I was wondering if you had a vacancy
We're so tired, do you have a place for me to sleep?”
But silently, “How are you replacing me?”
An unfilable folder
This is the truth that he wishes he told her
I wish you could feel what it felt like
An aviary unlocked on a dark night
But now, they are caged up like you
Your birdsong is blue
Your sky is gunmetal
Watch a salt mine fly from your eyes
Watch a whole world materialize
And a pox from a person you love
Your birdsong's a dove's
Your feathers have settled
Scratch my head 'til it flakes
Our intimate winter starts falling before me
There's a bed they won't make
There are songs they are playing that tell the whole story
