Since You Came Lyrics

"Today" is such a deceptive word
For I spent all my days
grieving loud
I sang all my pain
so distressingly
Just to hush up any imploring shout
I couldn't speak
'cause the words I knew
Like rotten mushrooms dissolved
You came out of that
burring host of sounds
Brought me back
solid consonants and vowelsAnd now my skin is
so close-fitting
Keeps the line with all the rest,
since you came in
I used to dispel among the things
that people wanted me to doI thought we got too familiar

To be lovers that
cherish the flame
All that we need
is attention
And I know I'll always give you the same'Cause now my skin is so close-fitting
Blending with reality,
since you came in
Nothing ever moved me
like your patience
While you taught me how to choose
