Dead Animals

All you wanted was to be wanted
Maybe even loved in some kind of dream
It’s over and you smell him on your clothes
Touch the wall to see if you’re alive
You’re asking yourself why
Frozen over and even colder and no one knows why, but they don’t understand
You’re barely breathing
Your heart stops beating
I can see it in your eyes
All you know is how you’re treated
And this thing called love is just a child’s dream
It’s colder still when morning finally comes
And you’re driving home all alone
Frozen over and even colder and you don’t know why
I can see it in your eyes; you don’t understand
And you’re that girl with pin-straight hair and curling iron burns just below
her ear
Let’s meet up at the dirty lake
And we’ll talk the black skies blue
We’ll spit and cuss as they rain on us and watch the trees start screaming
