Slobberbone – Sweetness, That's Your Cue lyrics

What's that smell you ask, I think I know
It's the smoldering of expectations long let go
Would you suggest you might affect some change?
Or are you banking that one decent poke might stoke the flames
Is that your game?

And I know such things aren't the same for you
But what gets me through is all I ever knew
And you can try but you won't bust through
Still I won't hold that against you, against you

See I am a sinking ship and I am listing
To and fro with everything I used to know
I am a busted pipe and I am pissing, away
Everything I used to hold, I used to hold

And I know such things aren't the same for you
But what gets me through is all I ever knew
People try but they don't bust through
Still I won't hold that against you, against you

So don't think twice if I disappear
I'll be gone for a little while, I'm gone, gone

Now where you been sweetness?
I've missed your face
Your resolve seems to have disappeared
Without a trace

Where's your reassuring tongue?
Dear, how I've missed your voice
Was it me who silenced you?
Yeah, well I had no choice, I had no choice

And I know such things aren't the same for you
But what gets me through is all I ever knew
People try but they can't break through
Still I won't hold that against you

No matter what you might try and do
Hey sweetness, that's your cue
