lyrics

running headlong into the wall
i looked around once
as if the walk were already over
now when we go let's leave
almost nothing behind
except our shape in the sheets
in case the dog gets cold

i know how
to make the silence sound
like the search for the perfect word
and now
in this quiet
you've lost your nerve

and i cataloged all the letters
left out of your name
and with 'em she wrote a sonnet
and it sounds
like a mountain of bees and
i would expect an explanation
but when pressed
all i stutter are
the basement smells
and the river swells and

i know how
to make the silence sound
like the search for the perfect word
and now
in this quiet
you've lost your nerve
