Once upon a time I thought I'd see past these walls
Now I see that there's no truth to that at all
But it's alright now
Now I hold whatever I can deep within
A slow and burnt out truth left me cold and thin
But it's alright now
Smelling you reminds me
Of a time spent up and gone
So anosmia plagues me now
Kept up at night in spite of what is already known
Love falls through the feeble facade once seed is sown
But it's alright now
Falling for you may be the last thing I do
Worth it despite eventual lugubrious screw
But it's alright now
Smelling you reminds me
Of a time spent up and gone
Death might be
Release from the endless sea
Yet we scream and deny
Life is a lie
But who falls apart
Other than I
Know no sacrifice
That pulls it apart
Time is an edifice
Lays waste and then departs
Smelling you reminds me
Of a time spent up and gone
So anosmia plagues me now
Now that you're here I know that I can breathe again
Helplessly entangled in a sexual dead end
But it lasts for now
An embrace is empty as a fallen tableau
As if a motionless man is all we know
But
Love sheds natural vows
Love sheds natural vows
Love sheds natural vows
But how can we bow out?
