An Honest Song

The time you confused
the frost on the plants for mould
in the Winter when we
when we wore socks to bed

The seeds I buried
I buried in the backyard
I buried them like a rabbit
a rabbit that's dead

I know we're lying
we're lying
we're lying
when we're lying together

We write poems
poems like soft porn
like a riddle to guess who's inside her
inside her heart

How do we live
when we're dying to survive
and how do we finish when we
don't even know how to start

I know we're lying
we're lying
we're lying
when we're lying together

Nothing is familiar
It feels like I'm floating away
How far do we travel
so home would feel like home again?

It's hard when it's easy
easy to swear
that you would become
become a better man

Cuz I know you're lying
you're lying
you're lying
when we're lying together

But with the persistence of memory
I forgot why I was angry
This is a bottomless pit
and we still won't regret a single day of it

If you were ever to go missing
it'd feel like I went missing too
When you say you miss me
I might do something crazy like believing you

I know you're lying
you're lying
you're lying
but don't lie to me baby please
when we're lying together
