You will do so much harm in a week
To yourself and likely to somebody else
Even if you say that you love it
You will come to terms with
How little your intentions really count
Even on a good day you can be so destructive
Yes! yes! yes!
You will destroy your reputation
A kind of pull you didn't know you had
And when you feel the tide coming in
You will make excuses to anyone who will listen
Save yourself for last
Or worse: you will get tired of him

Hold the line, don't get seen
Don't think about what should've happened, just proceed
Now send the text and block the number, make it clean

You will do so much harm in a week
A week will stretch itself into a year
See it all coming from a mile off
Now and then a waxy night will
Make your circumscriptions crystal clear
But even on a good day
D'you think you got the guts to make the effort to stop? well...
Yes! yes! yes!
Think of things that would send you under
Think of things that would claw out your eyes
Don't even try

Hold the line, don't get seen
Do your best to worry over trivialities
And when you relapse shake it off like just another awful dream
Fail!
Fail every time from greater heights
Even fail when you succeed

I know exactly how this is gonna go
In many ways, this has already run its course
I read the entrails twenty times or more
I count a flock of carrion birds offshore
I used to dream about a man in the crook of my shoulder
But lately that does not click in
I'm standing up frozen in the middle of the night
Wearing the clothes that I bought for him, for him
Well, it - it sounds ridiculous I'm sick of it myself
But where else am I to be done?
The only thing that sticks in my head a month on
Is the chemical sweet of his nicotine gum
You feel it long before you know it: corrosive:
It's already too late to comply
You think back to how the last time you fucked
He looked a bit too far past your eyes your eyes
It hasn't even happened but that doesn't matter
Time is a blur in all directions now
You say let's figure something out but nothin ever figures out
Because tomorrow's ringing far too loud
So you just say:
Yes! Yes! Yes!
