Chloroform Perfume

The end result of so many meetings

At late night dinners with no one eating

We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee

Count the tiles upon the ceiling

Skip this pretense and cut straight to dying

Don't pick me to keep your eyes from crying

You said so much without ever parting your lips

It's past 3 am and I'm still far from sleep

This is a habit that I can't break

You're my only company

I'm skipping stones

Street lights flicker like this match in my hand [x3]

Begging to strike [x2]

And I keep repeating, but this payphone tele stopped recieving

Flat out of change now I'm sure you won't accept the charges

It's all the same cause by the morning I'll be halfway to Colorado

Or some place like that

You said so much without ever parting your lips

It's past 3 am and I'm still far from sleep

This is a habit that I can't break

You're my only company

I'm skipping stones down a south surburban street

She keeps on asking "do you think it hurts much to die"

"It's hurting so much more to stay alive now"

She's gonna find out how much it hurts to die

She laced her perfume up with death

Feel it in my lungs

So I'll pull in the deepest breath

And drop my head
