The Continual Condition - Silverstein

A city drenching me in sin

Atop these buildings we’re both sinking as we swim

In our continual condition

You found a way inside my head

And left me hanging by a thread

Gutted out, replaying every line you said, and thinking

«Why can’t I just forget it and why can’t I live without you?»

I wish I held my ground or I could just go back

And disappear from you

I let you in you stole a piece of me And now I can’t take it, I can’t take it I can’t take it back from you again

You carved my body from the inside out

Never hesitated, hesitated

Left me on the boulevard here to bleed

Your eyes had pureness cutting through

They had me breaking my own rules

Assuring me it’s okay

This is different, you know we’re different

I’m such a mess I’ve tried and tried to unlearn your spell

Uncross the line maintain my confidence outside

But this pain it won’t escape me I let you in you stole a piece of me And now I can’t take it, I can’t take it I can’t take it back from you again

You carved my body from the inside out

Never hesitated, hesitated

Left me on the boulevard here to bleed

(Here to bleed)

A city drenching me in sin

Below these buildings I’m still sinking as I swim

In my continual condition

I’m off the beaten path

Smashing every light I pass

I’m so far away, and the darkness makes me need you

I let you in you stole a piece of me And now I can’t take it, I can’t take it I can’t take it back from you again

You carved my body from the inside out

Never hesitated, hesitated

Left me on the boulevard here to bleed

You left me here to bleed
