WAR SORE

from WAR SORE by lonely carp

lyrics

Our relationship was an act
A well rehearsed production in fact
Absence makes the heart grow a new leaf
That penetrates the grief underneath

Sleeping with strangers was our equivalent
Of a dying straight marriage having children

Act I: we were both at war, then
Act II: saw you as a whore
Act III: me, but infinitely more
Fell beneath my moral floor, then
By the time we'd reached act IV
We'd been diseased, damaged
Broken sore

All the songs
All the fights
All the wrongs
All the nights
Sleepless by
Your side
And then next
All the rest of our
Separate lives
Became
Act V

There was a condom
On the floor from
Last week or last month
You had been fucking
Some polished twink
The same time I was
I marched the parade
And then you came
No pride, but all shame
We sat together
All ties severed
Walked home in the rain
Then the death rattle
Final battle
And you bit my neck
Break up goodbye sex
Sweat in the same bed
Left by all those men
We (you, me) fucked when
We just needed friends

We just needed friends
