Like Pulling Teeth

lyrics

SIGN OFF, OPEN ROADS, CLOSING MOUTHS. I THOUGHT, THAT WE FIGURED THIS OUT. RETURN, MY
MIND FILLED WITH DOUBT, AND IT’S ALWAYS DOUBT.

I THOUGHT I WAS SAFER FURTHER AWAY FROM MY PAIN.

CHERISH ME, LIKE I CHERISH THINGS, THOUGH YEARS
BETWEEN US, ENDLESS OCEANS, JAGGED MOUNTAINS, DECADES APART, MY HEART.
AND, I BURIED YOU IN A SHOEBOX COFFIN, BENEATH MY BED WHERE I COULD VISIT YOU OFTEN.
I’M BEGINING TO THINK THAT SOME OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
ARE THE DAYS BEST LEFT FORGOTTEN.

SOMEWHERE AROUND INDIANA, I LOST SIGHT OF MY DESTINATION,
TOO CAUGHT UP WITH A VISION IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR. A STINGING HIVE OF BEES INSIDE OF ME
BEGAN POURING OUT EVERY TIME I BREATHED. I WAS TOO LOST IN ALL I’D LEFT BEHIND.
THE PAIN OF ALL THAT ONCE WAS STILL RESIDES LIKE A THORN STUCK SO DEEP IN MY SIDE,
AND THE FURTHER I GO I CAN’T RELATE, THE FURTHER I GO I CAN’T SEPARATE.

I WAS CHASING PAIN DOWN 65 AND APPARITIONS OF YOUR FACE IN THE CARS THAT DROVE BY.
WALKING BACKWARDS WITH AN EYE ON ALL I’D LEFT BEHIND NEVER GOT ME NOWHERE, OR ANY
PEACE OF MIND. AND, WHEN I FINALLY CAST YOUR MEMORY OUT, WITH MY BURNING CIGARETTE,
GO LIGHTLY AS YOU FADE INTO THE NIGHT.
