lyrics

I read your mood out loud in the kitchen to some friends
with the reluctance of a child and the stutter of a student
on a stage in front of peers in a public-speaking class
last day of freshman year and on the verge of collapse
or the summary on the back of a book I never read
that I borrowed from a lover and then lent to a friend
who used it as a coaster until the spine began to bend
and the pages came detached as the wind began to send
the story out of order to an unexpected end
like that paycheck in your pocket that you know won't cover rent
or the aching in your chest when they won't get out of bed,
much less look you in the eye for longer than a second
until you begin to lie about what you want for dinner
or how you lost the keys that you made in September
when you moved to a city that you thought would give you hope
but it only left a lesion where your love used to grow.

I know this can't go on forever.
Yea, some things have to change.
Devotion driven by doubt is a loaded gun
in the first act of a play.

I read your mood out loud today
to get your story straight.
