All Is Dead to Me

Picking up work in the city Hoping to find a new friend Over the bridge with the loitering Making it sleek and it splendid If it's one time, give it one try Then it's goodnight All is dead to me 'Cause they never read to me By myself again So I'll come and live in my hideaway We all got our reasons to blend There's things to be saved The silence will end If it's one time, I'll give it one try Then it's goodnight Compulsive relations remain undescribed Cold apparitions repeating with time You find and you never reeled it in Spawned other feelings behind And it's coming 'round And it's making ground Got that deep sound All is dead to me 'Cause they never read to me By myself again Sighs and sympathy Play now in company Rattling through my head Stuck in here, don't matter All is dead to me 'Cause they never read to me By myself again It's my price of insanity To build now so modestly Stumbling through my head
