No One Else

These days, it's like I'm at the brink of shoving anyone from love to resent

Any given action is another wayward spiral to repent

Took a rare shot at commitment but ended up depending on nobody else

Dependable as prisoners on visitation day in their holding cell

Trust is a gift retracted if the beneficiary don't take custody

You try and take account, but then you're told this is the way things have to be

Here with the broken vase, piece by piece, you sit with tube glue to repair

Before you're told the jig is up, mind the door, go take your business elsewhere

Fucked just like the dealer when the easy cards have been dealt

Filed in the request, but you're no longer off the shelf

When I said I wanted nothing, that's not really what I meant

Her kisses truly sweet like no one else

But I couldn’t keep my fingers to myself

I had hoped to do my part in keeping perils 'bout to bust the door at bay

I know how it sounds, who do I really think I am anyway?

The line of seekers of advantage is so long, I hear them knocking at the door

I guess I could come knocking too, but here I am not welcome anymore

I'm taking sleeping pills to shut your image out of my mind

In these memories of daylight, I am shutting down the blinds

Like how your figure is displaying shadow play on my wall

A figment of her beauty still so ethereal

Fucked just like the dealer when the easy cards have been dealt

Filed in the request, but you're no longer off the shelf

When I said I wanted nothing, that's not really what I meant

Her kisses truly sweet like no one else

But I couldn't keep my fingers to myself

I couldn't keep my fingers to myself
