Not About Love

[Verse 1]

The early cars already are

Drawing deep breaths past my door

And last night's phrases, sick with lack of basis

Are still writhing on my floor

[Pre-Chorus]

And it doesn't seem fair

That your wicked words should work in holding me down

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information given at close range

For the gag and the bind and the ammunition round

[Verse 2]

Conversation, once colored by esteem

Became dialogue as a diagram of a play for blood

Took a vacation; my palate got clean

Now I can taste your agenda while you're spitting your cud

[Pre-Chorus]

And it doesn't make sense

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown

It doesn't seem right

To take information given at close range

For the gag and the bind and the ammunition round

[Chorus]

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact, I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact, I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

[Bridge]

"What is this posture I have to stare at"

That's what he said when I was sitting up straight

Changed the name of the game 'cause he lost it

He knew he was wrong, but he knew it too late

But I'm not being fair 'cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth

But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I said that he stole

Put 'em in a sack, swing 'em over my shoulder

Turn on my heels, step out of his sight

Try to live in a lovelier light

[Chorus]

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact, I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact, I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache
