TAKE

I take
cigarettes now
Sucking smoke from the air you don’t breathe
Blowing smoke into the space you leave
Just to have something to fill it

I take
anything now
Just to have it... push on my skin
and show me the boundaries
between outside and in

So I’ll hold it
I won’t let it go
I’d kill to be in
Your glow

In your glow

I take
alcohol - who doesn’t?
To distill the words you left to soak in my ears
To drown out the drowning I’d do in my own tears
To dull the pain cooler
Make it go down smoother

Yeah I’d take
even meaningless - yes!
A big harsh dose of callousness
Just to contradict
All the meaning you left me

sick with
to drift in
thick with
to sit with

So I’ll hold it
I won’t let it go
I’d kill to be in
Your glow

In your glow

Oh no no no
Do you even know
What you done to me
Somehow I don’t think so
I don’t think so
No no no no

So. What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
Oh what can I do
oh what can I do
oh what can I do
but
hold onto you

So I’ll hold you
I won’t let you go
I’d kill to be in
Your glow
