Digital Ash In A Digital Urn

First with your hands and then with your mouth 
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds 
I was a fool, you were my friend 
We made it happen 
You took off your clothes, left on the light 
You stood there so brave 
You used to be shy 
Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom 
Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach 
That weatherman is a liar 
He said it would be raining but it is clear and blue as far as I can see 


Left by the lamp, right next to the bed, 
on a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen, 
"Everything is as it's always been. 
This never happened. 
Don't take it too bad it is nothing you did. 
It's just once something dies you can't make it live. 
You are a beautiful boy. 
You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman." 
So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet 
And I must have looked like a ghost because something frightened me 
and since then I've been so good at vanishing 


Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth 
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me 
I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free... 
and a little bit empty 
No, it isn't so hard to get close to me 
There will be no arguments 
We will always agree 
And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave 
We'll both take it easy 
But if you stay too long inside my memory, 
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody 
and I will keep you there so you can't bother me
