You say
Calm down baby
As the tears they scroll
Down and past
The emotions taking their toll

The days will repeat themselves
The routine the only blessing
Do you feel the cold now lately
Since there’s no solace in your head
Do you feel the cold now baby
With no fire in your head
Moving you
Toward what’s left up in your head

The bass guitar grinds
Up and down
Setting the tone
You say
Calm down baby
As the words they jump around
Stabbing and sobbing
The feels they have given wounds to

The days will repeat themselves
The routine the only blessing
Do you feel the cold now lately
Since there’s no solace in your head
Do you feel the cold now baby
With no fire in your head
Moving you
Toward what’s left up in your head

There is silence in the museum
As my hand begs for yours
And that bass guitar grinds
Up and down
Setting the tone
You say
Calm down baby
As the laughter echoes
Round and round
Searching like steel arrows

The days will repeat themselves
The routine the only blessing
Do you feel the cold now lately
Since there’s no solace in your head
Do you feel the cold now baby
With no fire in your head
Moving you
Toward what’s left up in your head

You say
Calm down baby
As the tears they scroll
Cold and ready
For the end
