Mew - Comforting Sounds


I don’t feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make. I don’t feel alright because you make promises that you break. Into your house, why don’t we share our solitude? Nothing is pure anymore but solitude. It’s hard to make sense, feels as if I’m sensing you through a lens. If someone else comes, I’d just sit here listening to the drums. Previously I never called it solitude. And probably you know all the dirty shows I’ve put on. Blunted and exhausted like anyone. Honestly I tried to avoid it. Honestly. Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stop. And now all the good kids are messing up. Nobody has gained or accomplished anything

i will create a new category
on my instant messenger buddy list

i will call it
‘people i like who don’t like me back’

and i will move your screen name into that group
and i will invite you to my house and show you

and you will say, ‘if i didn’t like you why did i come over’
and you will look at my face
and i will have an honest answer for your question
i will tell you that you came over to be polite

and after a while you will go home
and you won’t call
and i won’t either
and after a while i won’t like you anymore
and after a while we’ll forget each other
and after a while you will be beautiful and alone inside of your coffin
and i’ll be cold and alone inside of my coffin
