Not With You

(album: This Business of Art - 2000)

I can't believe I've let you in
And now here I am
Telling you that I'm suffocating in here
Just like the drugs you are keeping me
I felt shark teeth underneath my socks
Before I lost much blood
Around this world will I be enough?
From the liquor stores
To the train stop floors
Your filthy room your drama blues
I am nothing if I'm not with you
I'm always right always wrong
Dressing bad is like loving you
There is nothing I haven't worn
Nothing I haven't said before
Your fluid is thick against my sheets
When you look at me
Oh so angry I know it's true
My strength has come from loving you
Behavior I just can't grow into
So you fake and you flaw
For your cops and your cause
It makes no difference to me
It's love that you stole, that you stole
From the liquor stores
To the train stop floors
Your filthy room your drama blues
I am nothing if I'm not with you
I'm always right always wrong
Dressing bad is like loving you
There is nothing I haven't worn
Nothing I haven't said before so here I am
Around this world will I be enough?
This is nothing I haven't said before
You are nothing I haven't felt before
