lyrics

what happened
to all the
parallel lines
you drew
on the chalkboard
you said they'd
go on forever
but never touch
well that's
just poetic
as hell
as far
as I can tell
that's
exactly
like us
which one
will give up
give up
give up
no one's
a straight line
everyone
gets stuck

i'll be your slave
i'll be your pig
I'll do whatever you ask
tell me to jog
and I'll run
circles
'round the rest
of your pets.

want me to bark
like a dog?
lick your toes
in the night?
Don't forget
that you own
me
so you can do
what you like
I don't care

memories form
and memories
fade
just like
the foam
atop
ocean waves
when they break
where I thought
of you
and wrote up
a song
it was this song
if this is
the best
the best I can do
I'd better
reassess my goals in
reference to you
before I
leave this shoreline

i'll be your slave
i'll be your pig
I'll do whatever you ask
tell me to jog
and I'll run
circles
'round the rest
of your pets.

live and let live
they say
but
I don't forget
I don't forgive
my ghost
will haunt you
as long as it lives
I don't forget
I don't forgive
my ghost
will haunt you
as long as it lives
