currency of love

don't mind the time
there's enough to stay a little while
ten more minutes could never hurt you
when i paid my fair share and i paid my dues
through a screen
i'm watching you
i'm watching him
but who is watching me?
what a joy
what a pleasure
to be one of a hundred alone with you
but the other men here don't know you the way i do
so don't you monetize our love
don't you put a value on my care
currency of love
tip for today
take your hands and place them where i say
oh baby you earned every cent
the way you move
it makes a man feel like there's no sin
there's no shame
i can't be blamed
don't try to lie
like you don't recognize
that our love deserves the light
we could leave our rooms
meet for a day or two
and learn the ropes of care
oh what i would do
there's no end to what i would do
to always be connected to you
the currency of love
dollar for dollar
the currency of love
dollar for dollar
the currency of love
dollar for dollar
the currency of love
dollar for dollar

you made me leave

well i crossed a line
i know this to be true
i know i've made mistakes
but i can try to explain them away
remember your tone? the darkness of our home and our days?
two sides to every lie, there's a duplex full of reasons why
so all i can say
is do what you need
to make sense of what she gave to me
baby you made me leave
you made me leave
adding up the fights
the lies that you told
i grew to hate the weight of being trapped
and then i broke
so do what you need
be mad at her
you can certainly be mad at me
baby you made me leave
you made me leave

one last letter
04:45
|

there's a letter in the drawer,
that lists the bands that i record.
how to get in to the mix,
where to send the tracks so they can be finished.
the date of all the loans,
when to pay the car and when to pay the home.
the login for the heat,
use my first pet's name or my parent's street.
jeff can keep the synth,
jake can have my bass,
on the computer that i built
you can find every song i've made.
make sure mark and alix know,
that james is the next to go.
we have tried to be strong,
but we cannot be for long.
there's a picture of my son,
smiling in the hostas at my mom's.
i think he's holding sand,
but the glare of the sunlight hides his hands.
i lie down underneath his feet,
passing out and laboring to breath.
Afraid of when she comes home,
My final thoughts as the air is spent and growing old
matt, can you fix my porch?
the rails are awfully tall,
and i bet my son
or my disabled cat will fall.
someone tell kathleen,
just how much she meant to me.
oh, she tried and she cared so i'd know
someone's there.
are you there?
shaun when's your wedding date?
i'm sorry but i can't make it through
i can't last until i'm supposed to be a
witness for you.
i lost count of the times that i've tried,
now take my body, take my blood, and take my mind.
take my house and take my cars,
take my ribbon microphones and take away all of my guitars.
take my dreams, take my hope, and take my pain.
what i wouldn't do to be nothing again.
if it takes a gun or it takes a blade or it takes a rope
or a bag over my head one night when she's working late.
