Lyrics
The phone slips from a loose grip Words were missed, then some apology I didn't want to tell you this— No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with— I don't know, the past couple of weeks, I guess
Thank you and hang up the phone Let the funeral start, hear the casket close Let's pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat The laughter pours from under doors in this house I don't understand that sound no more Seems artificial, like a t.v. set
Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh This weight, it must be satisfied You offer only one reply You know not what you do As you tear and tear your hair from roots Of that same head you've twice removed Now a lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die Well, ha ha ha
I remember everything The words we spoke on freezing south street All those mornings watching you Get ready for school You combed your hair inside that mirror The one you painted blue And glued with jewelry tears Something about those bright colors Would always make you feel better
But now we speak with ruined tongues And the words we say aren't meant for anyone It's just a mumbled sentence to A passing acquaintance But there was once you You said you hate my suffering, and you understood And you'd take care of me You'd always be there Well, where are you now?
Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh The plans were never finalized But left to hang like yarn and twine Dangling before my eyes As you tear and tear your hair from roots From that same head that you have twice removed Now, a lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die And I sing and sing of awful things (The pleasure that my sadness brings) As my fingers press onto the strings Yet another clumsy chord
Haligh, haligh, an awful lie This weight would now be satisfied I'm gonna give you only one reply I know not who I am But I talk in the mirror To the stranger that appears Our conversations are circles Always one sided, nothing is clear Except we keep coming back To this meaning that I lack He says the choices were given And now, you must live them Or just not live But do you want that?
