The Receiving End of Sirens Shirtsleeves Lyrics

Words fail her
Why bother trying to pass off your offense as a good defense?
I said, "Please don't treat me like a lawyer, sweetie
Cause there will be time for shouting matches."

So he writes - last option
Keeps him cornered in
The need for more stays pressing
But he can't force the pen

For every blot of ink, a word is lost
Pierced skin/new melody
And if these lines stay blank
THEY'LL LEAD TO NOWHERE!

She starves for attention
He has hungry mouths to feed
Dietary habits seen
To her as born of apathy (BORN OF APATHY!)

He starves for attention
She has hungry mouths to feed
Emaciated, both will dream
Of times they felt less empty

Under his breath, "Like guests and presidents
My words were not welcome where they could not stay."
His arguments plotted concentric circles
Ending up bulls-eyes over his ribcage

And she starves for attention
He has hungry mouths to feed
Dietary habits seen
To her as born of apathy (BORN OF APATHY!)

And he starves for attention
She has hungry mouths to feed
Emaciated, both will dream
Of times they felt less empty

I need to believe in these
Dripping organs sutured to my sleeves
I wanna scream with every dream of mine
You'd never dare to breathe

Two four, two-four
I can't breathe
Two-four, two-four
I can't breathe... (I CAN'T BREATHE!)

And she starves for attention
He has hungry mouths to feed
Dietary habits seen
To her as born of apathy (BORN OF APATHY!)

And he starves for attention
She has hungry mouths to feed
Emaciated, both will dream
Of times they felt less empty
