The Line That Led Us Apart

The Oedipus Complex · The Passage of Times and Places [2010]

Every day I wake up

Can't do a single thing right for me

Maybe someday I'll care

When the tide sweeps

And drags me out beneath

The cool layers of air



Not tonight

Not tonight



Swaying in place

All just sheep being led

Apart just before the razor falls

Hovering there

Right over my neck

Everyday waiting for it to drop



Not tonight

Not tonight



We can never be in the same place again

We can't arrive at the same time again

We don't need to continue this comedy

Becoming others unintentional hilarity



Follow the line that brought us together

Stray at the branch that led us apart



It won't happen to me

It won't happen to me

It won't happen to me

It won't



Not tonight

Not tonight
