lyrics

I'm so glad this is over--
lead away in cuffs
to a single bed in cinderblock
From a romance that drove her
to the stormy bluff
where the ocean itself wouldn't be enough

The night all spent, then the day's lament
The cycle's fatal force finally ran its course
straight to this divorce

Search your night for a reason
Try to lay some blame
Find the perfect point where the slide began
Hit the floor on your knees and
what about this shame?
We don't care about that, they said,
that's not why you came.
The city of the mind
became a house then a room
then it emptied out and became a tomb
A progression that won't go anyplace
An obsession that leads to a loss of faith

The night all spent (oh the violation)
Then the day's lament (and annihilation)
They cycle's fatal force (rescued rebuilt and)
finally ran it's course (preserved)
straight to this divorce

Sometimes I want so badly
to taste you again,
taste that little bit of oblivion.
No need to exaggerate
the wreckage it made
The wounds might heal but the scar won't fade

The night all spent...
(I got to know it fairly well)
