These styrofoam pencils, you'll be looking at me
Through a keyhole, in a minor key
In the luxury dollhouse, these brains, they'll never be free
In the notes you're hearing so long you stay out of key
To wish I could shake them, heavily to the bone
With my face in ink, we blot out the monotone
So denuded, transparent feasts and cologne
And I nightmare of cadencing where I'll stay on my own
You could live without it like hummingbirds in tune
And I'll try to give myself just as heavy as you
Something between us, smoke from these cigarettes
Love is for knowing these things are just silhouettes
I could tell you in a minute, from sideways eyes, and the colors you see
Where I nightmare of cadencing where I'll stay out of key
You could live without it like hummingbirds in tune
And I'll try to give myself just as heavy as you
They'll say that I don't know them but darling I think I do
Maybe I can't love it all quite as heavy as you
The luxury dollhouse, the butler looks at the moon
And I watch him collapse like a hummingbird out of tune
I could pretend pretty well and sometimes I certainly do
But girl if I'm honest I'll never be free of you
You could live without it, they mostly know that it mostly is true
And they'll never know you now just like I think I do
Maybe there's nobody who does the things that they say that they do
What if I never fall in love quite as heavy as you
And all the portrait artists and senators, they retired to drink what they could
And I used to love and I used to never be good
They drink golden vodka and metaphors, they hate silence and want to be new
And they're full of nothing the way that I'm full with you
And you could live without it, it's the way we were and you know it was beautiful too
And I don't know how to convince you that honey it's true
We could like together like lightning rods so embarrassed we suddenly learned how to kill
But they wouldn't get it all darling I know you will
All these fire eaters and parasites, full of longing they'll never grow old enough to instill
Burning fairy dust and desire to ever be still
You could tune your piano like Beethoven where you last forever and people say that you'll always be new
In my lifetime darling I'll never be tired of you
And if we fall together will you rely on me still
And what if I don't love you the way that you think I will
And there's nothing more to love than a vision it's true
There's nothing more and there's nothing left for us too
And we could live without it like most of them certainly do
What if I never love someone quite as heavy as you
