My Lover Is Gone

My life has been a prison
Is my lover gone?
She left me last week
Without explanation
At night I fall asleep
On a pillow of tears
And when the sun rises
I hear the crack of my heart
I hear the crack of my heart
I hear the crack of my heart
I hear the crack of my heart
INSTRUMENTAL
My favorite illness
Is a generous laziness
That leaves me plenty of time
To talk with my sorrow
Do you know what she told me
As I started to dance
With a knife in my hand
And desire to kill her
She said don’t you think that
By killing nightmares
Today you’re killing also
Sweet dreams of tomorrow
She said don’t you think that
By killing nightmares
Today you’re killing also
Sweet dreams of tomorrow
She said don’t you think that
By killing nightmares
Today you’re killing also
Sweet dreams of tomorrow
She said don’t you think that
By killing nightmares
Today you’re killing also
Sweet dreams of tomorrow
She said
By killing nightmares
Today
