"April"

three days into april, how can it be snowing still? well i'm still broke
and now i'm just getting off work, just about the time you've gotta get
up and go in. and in your absence, i sleep in late and bounce between
breaking up and moving in, and somehow i wish that you'd just leave me
so i wouldn't have to live with the sin of breaking it off again, giving
love away, two and a half years to the day.

and as we build our lives from lines in tv shows, we try so hard to buy
away all our sorrow. and as we slowly grind ourselves to dust, we'll
give up everything, how could anything be worth that much? just to die
in debt in a retirement home; unloved, unhappy and alone.
