For Ruby

Separate on a morning train
Or lead your lie in the Belgian rain
Two months with no sleep
Finding out what it means to be
Pushed out with no legs back
And left out without a coat in the cold
Blacked out with the worst of friends
I cannot relate any more

Spent half the year in Silver Lake
I shaved my beard, got my shit straight
I've made my home, I don't sleep in it
The walls are much too barren, they're much too barren
Try to lose myself of the weight
Of this yolk I've yet to shed
Though you live in a different place
I still feel your indent on my bed

And please be the last to leave
You don't have love in you, and I can't blame you
Ground me until we see
Please be the last one to leave

Please cut me straight and deep
And I can't blame you if it's just not in you
Hold me down 'til we see
Please cut me straight and cut me deep

And I won't do this again
And you can't lock the door if I don't let you in
Please be the last to leave
You don't have love in you, and I can't blame you
