A Captive Audience

I'm gonna make it go away, like it never happenedLike the author ran out of ink, before you got to meIt doesn't matter, you have your answerMy breath upon yer handMy breath upon yer handCos we're never far from another lifeBut i never wanted to make you spend the nightWith yer loneliest thoughtsWill you come around this timeWill i be left hereOoh, loveWhen so proudly we fail and all the optimists sing"Yeah, we'll be that far"When we'll be that far behindIt's the drug distraction(tm)They'll scream when i kickBut for every moment that i get too closeTo the faceless void from which i stumbledIt's only because my heart swells overAnd i misinterpret it, i dwell on my failuresCos i had parents who taught me to loveYeah, love was somethingThey never knewThey never cared about you anywayA hope vicarious, a captive audienceEven the people that you call your friendsCan fuck you over in the subtlest waysIt'll be your comfort that you're always aloneThey never cared about you anywayThey never cared & they never care so muchAs when you've lost your wayFire and brimstone where they lay meHeaven help us for a way to get out of hereOoh, love
