lyrics

Who let the time I watched slip by through the gate, and back into your place
And under the stairs where I used to sleep
And why is it I only miss you when you’re not around
And I'm never that hungry until you don’t feed me
Now your thinking is deeper
I am on shallower ground
There’s nothing to play with here and you won’t let me out

Time is a chew toy and you’ve ripped out all of the cotton
Everyone knows I'm a lover but now even that has gone rotten
You lost what you’re looking for, you didn’t even check in the garden
But that’s exactly where it’s been hiding
Your eyes are still bluer than mine but my muscles are black
And the tears came rushing out of you like they were under an attack

Your caffeinated touch
And the things that I've chosen not to think of very much
Have gotten all their hands on me
Now I'm in double dutch
And there's something in the nothingness but nothingness is such
Such a something or nothing or something or nothing

So who let the time I let sneak by under the fence and over my head
And back underground where it first came from
