Cursive - The Recluse lyrics

rate me

I wake alone

In a woman's room I hardly know

I wake alone

And pretend that I am finally home

The room is littered

With her books

And notebooks

I imagine what they say, like

'shoo flie don't bother me'

I can hardly get myself out of the bed

For fear of

never lying in this bed again

oh christ

I'm not that desperate, oh no,

oh God, I am

how'd i end up here to begin with

I don't know

why do i start what I can't finish

oh please don't barrage me

with the questions

to all those ugly answers

my ego's like my stomache

it keeps shitting what i feed it

or maybe i don't want to finish anything

anymore

maybe i can wait in bed till she comes home

and whispers

"you're in my web now,

I've come to wrap you up tight

till it's time to bite down"

I wake alone

in a woman's room i hardly know

I wake alone

and pretend that i am finally home
