I learned from the University Of Whatever
That you can never 
Trust a human to not let you down
It goes with the territory of running the town
And I drown 
In the ocean or the River Shannon
There is no depth that’s not worth spanning
But I breathe oxygen 
And so it was with him 
I drank in all I could 
While we spent time in the wood
Like we were joined by blood
But the name 
Just spells shame 
As I think of what I did
The way I revealed the way I hid
And he flipped the lid
Spilling venom on the floor
And I could hear what we were 
In the echoes of twenty one guns
And there are many suns
Who anchor planets 
And dammit
I could have been more tame
But then I wouldn’t be the same
As I am when I am alone 
I clung to the phone 
Like it was sacred bread 
And I had been starving instead 
Of merely watching from afar
I’d love to take you in my car
And go for a drive
While we are both alive 
And pumping veins full of red
Instead I just wonder about your bed
And if it’s warm or if it’s hot
It’s something I just am not 
No matter how hard I try
But I see the sky
From the place where I lie
And I count the stars
Like we’ve been chasing cars
