Take One Car - I Never Knew The Sound lyrics

This is not together living. My benefit at your expense. I was just some fair weather Friend who fled for shelter as the storm set in My memory of how it went, was a memory skewed to my defense. I took more and more from you until I begged and borrowed all that I could get Damn my insatiable hunger. I ate myself sick before I was fed. It seems I had no clue of all I'd had taken until it came time for me to pay my debt As the blood of every minute pours through the Arteries of years. I could barely hear you here through a life now reproduced Like the burnt leaves of autumn, a world fades away. I couldn't keep you here Even though I begged you to stay. So, why not leave it for what it is Why dig past the quills for the rodent within Why not leave everything that hurts you too much Alone to die in some hospital bed This still deserves a whisper, a proclamation from the roofs, won't god divide the Water, or speak another truth. My words are slipping from me, I cannot make a sound As that ever muffled drumming meets the quiet of the ground March 31st or was it april 04th, I guess the date is Inconsequential, but I know now for sure, that i'd taken you for granted for far too Long, and everyone takes everything for granted until it's gone And I concede that some are far worse off than me As I sit here with my bounty and healthy family Ignoring phone calls from good friends I don't have time for these days And I lock the doors, and pull the shutters, and draw the shades And I beg and borrow and never return, and I feed and siphon and i'm never going to Learn, that you were none of my concern. Beg and borrow and never return, and I Feed and siphon and i'm never going to learn, that i'm the only one who is of any of my Concern, and i'll wear my guilt like an albatross around my neck
