For What Reason

This won't be the last you'll hear from me

It's just the start

I hope that he keeps you up for weeks

Like you did to meI will hold a candle up to you

To singe your skin

Brace yourself, I'm bent with bitterness

I can't foreseeWhen your apologies fail to ring true

So slick with that sarcastic slew

Of phrases like 'I thought you knew'

While keeping me in hot pursuitTracing the plot finds

Skin touching skin

Absence followsIn the end I win every time

As ink remains

Sour tastes prevail as you play back

The tape machineWhen your apologies fail to ring true

So slick with that sarcastic slew

Of phrases like 'I thought you knew'

While keeping me in such hot pursuitTracing the plot finds

Skin touching skin

Absence follows
