We don't have to talk about it

I can handle this on my own

I don't need a thing

From another

I can stomach just about anything

If I hold myself to it

Been burning for so long now

But any fire can be put out

I can starve the feeling out

We don't have to talk about it

Some kind of ending just for now

We don't have to talk about it

Years of history in my hands

Adding up to something hopeless

Why would I keep trying? Just tell me that

When it's been so low and loveless

Some deep thing rotted out

Barbed wire caught in my mouth

I can starve the feeling out

We don't have to talk about it

Some kind of ending just for now

We don't have to talk about it

This is where you have always been

Beating firm beneath the skin

This is where this will always be

Subcutaneous lovely dream
