I said you weren't the first in line
You assured me that was fine.
You keep your worries wrapped in twine
Hope I won't see into your mind.
Now you're taking pictures of my hands
Dragging lines into the sand
That tell the story of a man
And the ruins of his best laid plans
He came and saw and conquered, but
Who was I to offer him a rose?
It can't be helped, it can't be opened,
It's already broken, locked in a room
The key's long gone, no use hopin'
But here is your token, it says "come again soon."
He might appear a little meek,
But then I've always been a freak.
And when he kissed my frozen cheek,
Every inch of me went weak.
Had he been a king, well, I'd have let him rule
Let him use me like a tool
Maybe you think that's a little cruel,
But I'd still play the part of the fool
For you to stand there staring, means
My delusion's glaring like lightning
It can't be helped, it can't be opened,
It's already broken, locked in a room
The key's long gone, no use hopin'
But here is your token, it says "come again soon."
You say he didn't treat me right,
You say I shouldn't have to fight,
But wish you may, and honey, wish you might,
I won't be coming home tonight.
It can't be helped, it can't be opened,
It's already broken, locked in a room
The key's long gone, no use hopin'
But here is your token, it says "come again soon."
It can't be helped, it can't be opened,
It's already broken, locked in a room
The key's still his, my cheek's still frozen
The highway is open, I'll be seeing him soon.
Turbulent indie rock from Levi Fuller & the Library that has the snarl of hardcore and the knotty meter of math rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2018
