you might as well stay

[the tourist]

he is on his knees
the candle is broken on the floor
green and yellow carved squash like pavement teeth on broken hinges splashes like water over the brim
with a kiss, all my love, and a wish you'd disappear
straighter than narrow
in pieces, he tries to fix the damage (but his fingers are tattered and torn)
his eyes blur
her eyeshadow leaves sparkles on his back seat

are you coming with me?
(i think so)
no, you're not because you can't
(i can come with you!)
no, i'm sorry, you can't
if you are right then so am i
but if you are wrong, you're screwed and i'm not
so why not believe me, babydoll?
(because i can't)
(do you think i'm going to hell?)
yes, i do
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry

sledge-hammered
walls broken rebuilt stronger
why do you keep building your walls stronger when all i want to do is take you apart?
i want to undo the damage but you hold on tight and let it undo you like i undid your lips and your buttons

i'm sorry to tell you that, heaven or hell, you can't change me
