about

Well, this ain't exactly "Satisfaction," but I swear to you that I woke up on Thursday morning with the bass line, rhythm, and octave vocal hook fully formed in my mind, straight from sleep. This also has NOTHING to do with my general plan for this round's songs, but I just had to follow the muse and go with it. As it turns out, it's easily my favorite contribution so far this round, so there's that.

lyrics

I know you
Where you went
Left me lost
Broke and bent

Rushing you out
On a train that’s bound for glory
Rushing you out
On the next one out of town
What’d I tell you
can’t be sticking to a story
Can’t recall the code
You might be going down

There was a time
I’d have walked out on the water
There was time
I’d have done the bit for you
But here you go
leading all your lambs to slaughter
I never thought you’d be
the one to turn the screw

I saw you
Where you went
Left me lost
Broke and bent

I used to watch you while you’d
Sleep so fitful
I used to wonder what you dreamed
But now you’ve woken and the
Nightmare’s ending
And no one’s what they seemed


I wanna pretend
There was a moment ‘fore you stepped out
I wanna pretend
That you paused and saw my face
I wanna pretend
You were sorry for a second
Before your shame all
Disappeared without a trace

Some of us kill
Without a moment’s hesitation
Some of us have to learn
To lie to our own face
Were you the one that made the
easy calculation
The belladonna underneath
your Queen Anne’s lace

I saw you
Where you went
Left me lost
Broke and bent
