lyrics

I left you there without a thought
Trying hard to reconcile the reactions you'd wrought
But then you went and spat on it, you pissed away it all
When you got behind the wheel and put your car straight through a wall

Helpless, I saw you handcuffed beneath a tree
And selfishly I wondered, "What might this mean for me?
What might this mean for me?"

Eventually all the noise and fury broke through
And I did something awful, something less like me and more like you
I couldn't cope so I said to my best friend, "Hey, brother, let's do it right tonight.
I wanna lose my ability to feel; I wanna see and think in black and white."

Once we had started there was simply no room to stop
We carried it forwards until we had nothing left to chop
Nothing left to chop
And he said, "Look here, man, this isn't some kind of race—"
Shaking, I cut him off; I said, "I don't think I feel my face,
I just need a little space."

In that moment I realized
That I'd given you your chances and you'd given me mine
And the terrible truth shook my spinning head:
We're just two sides of the same coin
Same hungers and failings and inability to break free
So I'm forced to ask myself—what might this mean for me?
What might this mean for me?
