Jet Black

Jawbreaker
(album: Dear You)

I´ll be quiet to keep you quiet.
Don´t concern yourself with my slow dying.
Through the vents I hear you sigh.
I don´t get too high these days.
Your floor is my ceiling.
Lights out, you can´t come in.
If you don´t remind me, I won´t forget you.
If you don´t ask, I won´t upset you.
I am jet black.
I am stone cold.
Jet black to the center.
Funny like a funeral.
I need you to bury me.
White noise in black room dust.
These hands long for one last touch.
Hourglass all out of trust.
I don´t scratch so I won´t itch.
I don´t reach so I won´t miss.
I taste our last kiss.
This is the cure: the same as the symptom.
Simple and pure: break to keep fixing.
Patiently nurse, patient and nurse.
This is the part I wouldn´t show you.
The part where you say, "I don´t even know you."
This is your cue.
Be glad it´s through.
