Drano-ears

“I faked it,” you said, getting up from the floor-
Another attempt to nullify the pain from the war
With yourself in your mind
With all the gathering fears,
You drink Drano ‘til it comes out of your ears
But you know in your heart it’s not right
And you know in your heart that I’m right

You said that he loved you,
and now he has gone away
But if love’s just a literary construct, it’s all the same
But you’ve been doing your summer reading
and going insane

Alone for the day,
But the worst of it’ll pass away…
The worst of it’ll pass away before you know it

We’re playing this game that we cannot survive,
And culture has rendered our actions contrived
And you sit and you think
‘til you’ve come unwound
But if you can hear my voice,
Take comfort in the sound

Alone for the day,
But the worst of it’ll pass away…
The worst of it’ll pass away before you know it(x2)

You said that he loved you,
but now he’s nowhere to be found
See, if love can build you up,
Then it can tear you down
