His head was a city
Of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding
Together in his brainAnd once it started was harder to
Tell them apartHe was always distracted
By the very mention
Of an open door
'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been beforeTo be a remain remain remain remainderThe television was snowing softly
As she hunted for her keys
She said she never envisioned him the type of person capable of such deceitAnd they carried on like long division
And it was clear with every page
That they were further away from a solution that would playWithout a remain remain remain remainderHe had sworn not to be what he'd been beforeTo be the remain remain remain remainder
