Lyrics Second Person

Second Person

Spilt Milk

Darling it's deplorable

I'm still acting this adorable

With all this ugliness inside

It's just untenable

That I'm always so available

And I'm always so amenable

To your blending black and white

I tell you truthfully

This ambiguity

It's just no use to me

'Cause it makes me want to curl up in a foetal ball

Like an unprotected animal

With an ineffective outer wall

In an unsympathetic world

I know you'd never be unkind

With all your thoughts for me

But while you're making up your mind

It tortures me

But there's no use crying

There's no use crying

There's no use crying

There's no use crying

Oh

Well it's practically an actual catastrophe

And I reckon it just has to be

'Cause of its fundamental flaws

I know you'd happily

Gather me up and carry me

But you don't have the capacity

And I'm not a charitable cause

I feel like I lost it all

I feel like I'm in hospital

And you know it's just impossible

For you to see me now

Because togetherness

Is so akin to hopelessness

And we are standing on a precipice

And it is such a long way down

Oh and you know we have to walk away

While we're still making sense

This is just the price we pay for accidents

And there's no use crying

There's no use crying

There's no use crying

There's no use crying

Oh there's no use crying

Fall on your knees

Hear the angel voices

Fall on your knees

Hear the angel voices

But there's no use crying

There's no use crying

And there's no use dying

'Cause there's still more living to be done
