Penicillin (It Doesn't Mean Much)

Don't say it's the last time you'll ever need thisTo simply blow over in words you conceal withIt doesn't mean much when you're telling me liesTo prove your affection, you'd marry my stringsBut when I'm called away, do you bury my thingsHow easily unearthed what our maladies hideBut I'll never leaveYou could never go where I couldn't followI'll make you seeNever been a pill or sin I couldn't swallowI swear on the bottle, from the bottom, it all looks worse than it isInk takes, routine takes ink, we'll parch the wordsThat leave me as film on your lips, wrists, and fingersA cage, like the first verse, when I promised you (us) all the restNow you'll feel the restBut I'll never leaveYou could never go where I couldn't followI'll make you seeNever been a pill or sin I couldn't swallowI swear on the ballot, from up here, you can't see a thingSo I'll never askYou could never take the words that would followAnd you'll never tellNever said a thing that I didn't already knowI swear on the gavel, from the battle, I've grown tired of the warLet's remove the bond from these bands that we wearThe rings never closed, so there'll ne'er be a blame to bearWhere we're built to bendOh, the flesh never dyes
