I've Been Eating [For You] - Bright Eyes

so i’m just a medicine

you take when you’re sick

you get well and that’s it

i’m put back

on the shelf in your (mirror/map?)

and it isn’t exeptional

the course of our fate

cuz people love and they hate

and i guess

it’s just all turned to hate.

yeah you were just some song i wrote

a poem on a page

a sculpture i made

out of clay —

desire was the flame.

but now you’re more of a basketball

boys just pass you around

they bounce you hard on the ground

and dribble

then we all get high 5's.

and you think i’m an asshole now

well you’re probably right

but at least i’m not blind to the fact

i’ve been wishing were lies.

but still i hope you get everything

that you care to possess

and unbelievable sex

with him

or any one of my friends.

but just don’t ask about my appetite

i didn’t lose it tonight

it’s been gone half my life

it’s just i

i’ve been eating for you.
