glasgow

there's a little lake in this dark place
those of us who fake it sleeping and breathing
wondering why you hate my cares so easily
just a little makeshift holiday

i hold a little wake for your perfect fiction
what was once affection is now affliction
wondering why the hopeless are always aching
here's a little heart to break

in my dear green place, disappearing
overgrown with sadness
when new york kicks you you rise again
and somewhere inside you your green place is fading

a cemetery waits for new summer dresses
your fist around my true love, nobody notices
wondering why you're never bleeding or weeping
just an empty place for

my dear green place, disappearing
overgrown with sadness
when new york kicks you you rise again
and somewhere inside you your green place is fading

now i can't quite figure out if i'm lost or preserving
making love to giving up on loving
wondering why you'd want me to want you anyway
just a little bouquet of mistakes

in my dear green place, disappearing
overgrown with sadness
when new york kicks you you rise again
and your green place is fading
