Persephone

It climbs in slowly behind.
If you trust your neighbors..
They’d never suspect what you’re like.
Welcome them into your life.
No one has to know..
Playback, delete, and rewind.
It’s getting closer than you thought it’d get..
Just get inside.
It’s moving faster than you’d ever planned.
You’ll be relieved when..
When you open up..
You let yourself seem vulnerable.
And the morning sun..
Will make our bodies comfortable..
In taking off your clothes..
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed.
Nobody wants to hear another..
Story about how you couldn’t write right.
It climbs in slowly behind.
No one has to know.
Playback, delete, and rewind.
Each one is louder than the one before.
And the people you care for..
At ten times the expense of all that you spent.
You’ll be relieved when..
When you open up..
You let yourself seem vulnerable.
And the morning sun..
Will make our bodies comfortable.
In taking off your clothes..
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed.
You’ll keep it on the inside..
‘Cause that’s the safest place..
‘Cause that’s the safest place to hide.
All of your friends are gone.
And you were barely holding on.
We were wrong and they fooled us once again.
We are the loneliest of men, we’re the loneliest.
And all your friends are gone.
Nobody hears you.
And all your friends were wrong.
Nobody cares.
And all your friends are gone.
Nobody is here with you.
And all your friends were wrong.
Nobody cares.
