The Slider

you should have called whether or not
you had the thought
you should have had it

what's arrived upon us
and spoke for themselves
commitment like sawdust
it just gets (swept up with trash)
irradiate my common sense
just in time to avert disaster
a revenue at your expense
my god what have i done to you?

you can't help but notice
how long i have stared
properly suggestive
but i'm not prepared
for any connection
to be made with you tonight
well, emotionally vacant
yeah, i've heard that many times before

and just because i don't know your pain
doesn't mean i can't relate
it's just a suggestion
you don't have to take it to heart

now i can see, you raised the stakes
i call you out, i call you out

what's arrived upon us
and spoke for themselves
commitment like sawdust
it just gets (swept up with trash)
irradiate my common sense
just in time to avert disaster
