Losing A Whole Year
Unraveling Love's Illusion: Knuckle Puck's Tale of Lost Years
Lyrics
I remember you and me used to spend
Recollection of spending extensive time together
The whole goddamn day in bed
Spending an entire day in bed
(Losing a whole year)
Expressing the loss of a significant period
Hiding in your room, we'd lay like dogs
Retreating together, avoiding the world
And the phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
Phone interruptions as uncomfortable, unsaid matters
(Losing a whole year)
Continued loss of time or experiences
Rich daddy left you with a parachute
Receiving financial security from a departed parent
Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute
Associating voice with wealth, acknowledging attractiveness
But your daddy left you with no love
Lack of parental emotional presence
You touch everything with a velvet glove, and
Handling things delicately but superficially
Now you wanna try a life of sin
Desire for a rebellious, indulgent life
You wanna be down with the down and in
Yearning to belong to a certain social group
Always copping my truths
Feeling manipulated by revealing truths
I kinda get the feeling like I'm being used
Realization of being unheard and unnoticed
And now I realize that you never heard
Perceiving lack of attention or understanding
One goddamn word I ever said
Complete disregard for communication
Losing a whole year
Continued loss or waste of time
I took your stuff and put it in the basement
Moving belongings out of sight upon realization
When I found out what the smile on your face meant
Understanding the real meaning behind a smile
I've seen you pop that check, big
Observing someone's curiosity at another's misfortune
Craning your neck at my car wreck, and
Noting the decline of a once vibrant connection
It always seems the juice used to flow
Recollection of past passion or enthusiasm
In the car, in the kitchen, you were good to go
Being adaptable and eager in various situations
Now we're stuck with the tube
Current state of mundane, unexciting routine
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
Living in a situation lacking intimacy and excitement
And I remember you and me used to spend
Reiteration of spending extensive time together
The whole goddamned day in bed
Reflecting on past intimacy and connection
Hey, bye
A casual farewell
If it's not the defense then you're on the attack
Noticing defensive or aggressive behavior
When you start talking, I hear the Prozac
Associating conversation with medication for mood
Convinced you've found your place
Believing to have found a place or community
With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace
Seeking validation from a specific group online
When you were yourself there was tasting sweet
Initial positive impression turning into deception
Sours into a routine deceit
Transforming sweetness into habitual deceit
Well this drama is a bore
Expressing boredom and disinterest in the drama
And I don't want to play no more
Refusing to participate in the ongoing conflict
Whoa, why
Expressing confusion or questioning
Whoa, Why
Reiteration of confusion or questioning
I remember you and me used to spend
Recollecting extensive time spent together
The whole goddamn day in bed
A casual farewell
Hey, bye
-Hey, bye
