/// A plea from one misanthrope to another to change their ways and embrace humanity, despite everything ///
It's the end of my momentum, I can feel the city centralizing me
And I find it kind of threatening how life ticks by so second-handedly
It's artificial darkness in the air
And it's hard to see if anyone's still there
And through my letterbox the view's a mess, I set a lock or two
If this is it, I wish you'd say it like you know it isn't true
I'll revile our damning days, yet all the while
I can't stand to see you when you smile
Well say it's made to fall
And say you've grown to hate us all
Just say it like you know it isn't true
Well say it ain't no home
And say you'd rather die alone
Just say it like you know it isn't true
So will you come for me?
You can't make it alone, you can't make it alone
I know that you're done with me
But look at how you've grown, you can't make it alone
And in my cabin fever I would leave a hundred lovers for you my friend
I can't bear it either, oh but one way or another this will end
Something's gotta live through this you know
I've nothing left to give, but here you go
