Nothing More Cruel - Agape (A Talk by a Train)

She sat down beside me to wait for the train
And I nodded my head in hello
She said that her girlfriend lived out of the state
And she's sleeping the evening alone
I told her my own lives a plane ride away
And that we only speak on the phone
I know that she's cheating, i'll leave her someday
But for now I pretend she's alone

And she's got a dad in the Navy
Who asked to go earn his degree
She said that they gave him a maybe
But both of us knows what that means
And he bought himself a mercedes
But he only drives it on leave
Well he painted it red just to stay in his shed
And it seems a bit silly to me

Well I always thought that her eyes looked like dirt
The type where a sunflower grows
When I told her, those eyes told me those words had hurt
And her lips told me I should go home
But she played us a film as an offer of peace
It was somethin' by Lars Von Trier
And most of the time I was glued to the screen
But I still could see she didn't care

And I know you're not good at choosing
But which was the best that you'd seen?
You said that you don't like movies
But probably Lightning McQueen
And I said "but that's not a movie"
You said "You know what I mean"
I could tell you were mad, so I didn't fight back
I just nodded as if I agree

So maybe it is but a face that thins my blood, or a body that carves my smile
But if that is so, may the lord deliver me from the clutches of that beautiful black hair, the
Thorn briar of eyebrow, the cheekbones as sharp as the razor that opens my wrists, for They do nothing
But distract me from the melody in your lungs, and the weight of your soul
