Kleenex Girl Wonder Greek Fire
[Verse 1]
How many weeks have I been sayin' it?
My love, that's Greek fire you're playing with, my favorite
So the water you keep throwing on it is only making it worse
You finally got what you wanted but now the tables are turnin'
So you threw a peace sign up as your avatar
Might I remind you of the battle scars you left me with?
Remember when you said that I should feel threatened because you knew my secrets?
Now I need a four-dimensional being's perspective to prove I exist
[Chorus 1]
So tell me, what happened to us?
In more ways than one, baby, I got nothin'
I'm guessin' that I was defeated because you triumphed as one does
[Verse 2]
Just the ordinary ebb and flow, so I let it go
Scrubbin' the tub with a bucket full of disinfectant soap, head to toe
But I'm getting a little suspicious of your anechoic chamber
You say that you're willing to listen but your easy-going nature
Was even more affected and inscrutable than usual
So what else can I do but fill the crucible with auspicious herbs?
And pray I may one day regain what I have lost, it's just words
But one way to numb the pain is making sure it gets worse
As long as my memories are intact
I can dispatch all my enemies in fact
With a little elbow grease, I'll send all the bats in the belfry
Back to the land of the living where the forgiving forget
Oh, you gotta be kidding, you and your infinite jest are the best
From the beginning they've done your bidding, it's a mess
Absentmindedly flitting around, emitting the sound suggesting madness is in and of itself your method
When all this time you've been pathologizing me
And here I've been apologizing, gettin' contrite and preoccupied
With whether or not I'm as mean as you believe
I'll say this is not how I expected it to end
I guess I musta got lost in the weeds
But now you're whittling down what little amount is left of what we used to be
[Chorus 2]
So please, give me a moment to breathe
Or leave, like you assured me you'd leave
Honestly, if you're feeling froggish leap
Or we can live like the Walking Dead
Always on edge and unable to sleep
[Verse 3]
You've got a healthy head start
As always, you're establishing a benchmark, and the best part
Is that yet again we're betting against our best judgment
Pretending it makes perfect sense, except that it doesn't
So when should we relent and accept our fate, go our separate ways
As far as I can tell, the answer's yesterday, and anyway
I've always rejected the obdurate message of never say never
Especially when it's in reference to crippling depression getting better
[Bridge]
You used to say it can't be that easy
You're the one who said it has to be hard
So we can keep controlling the bleed or tear it apart
I know it's comforting or baffling and buffering
Or grappling and grumbling, but that's why it's so troubling
You're angry and I'm flustered and it's all so dumb and I'm done with it
[Chorus 3]
So let's give up, I know it's [?] but what part of this wasn't?
Just because we love each other doesn't mean we're suckers
This is just another unproductive cumbersome discussion
I've said as much as I can muster, come on, [?], shut up, we've suffered enough
