Lyrics
I barely remember the last time we spoke
I have vague memories of our last conversation.
It was you and your husband and me in your car
We were together with your husband in a car, enjoying each other's company and smoking.
Laughing and filling that car up with smoke
We shared laughter and filled the car with smoke.
What a lovely family you were
Despite the pleasant facade, your family seemed lovely.
44 months since I last saw you then
It's been 44 months since I last saw you.
You barely said anything that whole weekend
You were mostly silent during that entire weekend.
But I saw the bruises on your wrist
I noticed bruises on your wrist.
And nothing can hide underneath your eyelids
Your eyes reveal that something is hidden beneath the surface.
I swear, it's fine, it's water and wine
I insist that everything is fine; comparing it to water and wine.
I need both to survive
I require both to sustain myself.
I keep trying to build heaven on earth
I strive to create paradise on earth.
But I'm figuring out that will never work
I realize that achieving this goal is futile.
I need water and wine
I need both water and wine for survival.
I need both to survive
I reiterate the importance of both for my well-being.
My head's a parking lot
My mind is cluttered and chaotic like a parking lot.
Parked full of useless cars
It's filled with useless thoughts and ideas.
Stripped down to the wire
I am stripped down to the essentials, retaining only what's necessary.
Retain my useful parts
I hold onto the valuable parts of myself.
You expect me to live like that?
You expect me to live with this burden?
I will run til my knees collapse
I will keep running until I am physically exhausted.
Eyes forward, shoes tied, never looking back
I focus on the future, stay prepared, and avoid dwelling on the past.
