Prosthesis of Mind - Antithesis

A HUGE thanks to Jim Stewart for the production on this!


She speaks in metaphors
Clever wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking
I heard her say before
That if you were a boat then you might as well be sinking

And that the crows outside
Coming down fast, oh, as they call your name
I said I'm out the door
If you had some sense, you would do the same

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

No, it wouldn't be the first time
She's got me on the killing floor

She speaks in lullabies 
She said "rock-a-by baby i'll see you in the morning"
And then I waved goodbye
Never saw her again but that's just how it's been

I know she'll be back soon
She's like the setting sun, she'll rise again one day
And then the sky turned gray
If I had some sense, I would fall away

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

No it wouldn't be the first time
She's got me on the killing floor

She speaks in metaphors 
Clever wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking
I heard her say before 
If you were a boat then you might as well me sinking

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

She's got me working my mind
And I don't decipher code
It's time to go for a drive
A long way from home

No it wouldn't be the first time
She's got me on the killing floor

Metaphors

Really on this electronic trend. Lowkey I picture this being sung by Julian Casablancas in a perfect world.

Darling I tried to be patient.
Tried paying it forward every step.
I’ll admit I acted hasty.
Actually it’s urgency I shared.

Talk to me talk to me baby.
Cold shoulders hold you over once again.
The caress of your breath drives me crazy.
The words that come out make me scared.

If I could chase time, I’d be wiser.
Give you all the space that you lacked.
I’d tell you more that I loved you.
I wouldn’t pressure you to say it back.

Darling I’ll try to be better.
Try to let you move on with yourself.
Promise I’ll always be waiting.
Just leave me to get dusty on your shelf.
