Someone Else

My back on the railroad tracks
Each misgiving you won’t give back
It’s no help when I tell myself
This is the last time
Jet-black, baby, comb it back
Your legs relax as you watch my act
It’s put on, but it’s all for you
This is the last time that I’ll be
Someone else for someone else
A cold call to a vacant heart
The sound of your voice as I wait in the dark
I’m the pieces as you take apart
This is the last time
Made accomplice ‘cause I’ve played the part
I fall ensnared in your steel-barbed arms
Beholden to holding you
This is the last time that I’ll be
Someone else for someone else
A cold call to a vacant heart
I hear your voice, I feel your dark
Implicated ‘cause I’ve taken part
Just this last time…
And I never looked better;
I was meant for you to use
I’ll stay shackled, and tethered
For this is my body
It shall be given up for you
Someone else for someone else
