The Closets - Pink Elephant

We had a sudden falling out
But I never knew what it was about
Years since you've considered me a friend
Since then, I've been rehearsing amends
Fits of anger I've been feeling
But is there something else I've been concealing,
All this time?
A forbidden underlying bind

As I stop and hear you mentioned
I'm exalted to regretful tension
But as I overhear your wit and charm
I forever crave your open arms

I then pause with a sudden shock
And recall my eyes that remained forever locked
With your every subtlety
My thoughts, I'll long to plea
Woke from an idealistic binge
Then face reality, I cringe
But you've never looked any better
Your spinal figure formed in leather
Though I feel a change in weather
My wish stays as authentic as clearance pleather

As I stop and hear you mentioned
I'm exalted to regretful tension
But as I overhear your wit and charm
I forever crave your open arms

Staring into dead space air
But I abruptly decide to glare
Straight at you
This man I am, do you view askew?
A demented, tormented, needy weed I am
I feed off the better-off within my manic realm
Oh, but that must've been the nail that crushed the snail
I never heard your signs you gave when I was off the rails
Beneath the cold shoulder that we put beneath ourselves
I hid beneath the boulder of myself
Though, I recall, I held onto your every breath
I guess I'll put my beating heart to rest

As I stop and hear you mentioned
I'm exalted to regretful tension
But as I overhear your wit and charm
I forever crave your open arms
