Dear Calamity

from Mayday by The Robot's Guide to Living

lyrics

Are you the cancer that hangs around this town?
Every cigarette gets chased with liquor, quicker
Loosen up those lips
Before the end comes that we're patiently awaiting

To feel your heartbeat against my chest
Well, that's just perfect
Stick to what you know and
If that time comes, make damn sure that it's worth it

Tighten my grip on your wrist
Begin beating this romance back to death

I find it clever how you keep our hips together
Almost poetic in the way you've got me pacing
Patience, patience
Such a vain harlot whose sheets, they whisper
"You're not the only one who's been here"
I was an addict for the way you kept me begging
Until those veins ran dry
Oh you pathetic romantic any way you paint this
Not so devoted
Hide your hands 'cause they're shaking

So debonair, so apologetic
You look graceful with that broken jaw
So what's the lesson?
Is it typical of a gentleman's apparition to be elegant and promise that
You'd be forgiven?

Your eyes set alight
Flash like fire, but it serves no purpose
We were repetitive in hopes of enduring this transubstantiation
But baby, you'll need this

We'll paint a target on your back
And we'll open fire

I find it clever how you keep our hips together
Almost poetic in the way you've got me pacing
Patience, patience
Such a vain harlot whose sheets, they whisper
"You're not the only one who's been here"
I was an addict for the way you kept me begging
Until those veins ran dry
Oh you pathetic romantic any way you paint this
Not so devoted
Hide your hands 'cause they're shaking

The time it took and all the times they could not fix me
(This is another sick addiction to add to the list)
The awful sounds that came spilling out of my mouth
(This is another sick addiction to add to the list)
Such an anxious man, press him tight into a coffin
(This is another sick addiction to add to the list)
But you know as well as I
(This is another sick addiction)
You are not alone

I find it clever how you keep our hips together
Almost poetic in the way you've got me pacing
Patience, patience
Such a vain harlot whose sheets, they whisper
"You're not the only one who's been here"
I was an addict for the way you kept me begging
Until those veins ran dry
Oh you pathetic romantic any way you paint this
Not so devoted
Hide your hands
