[Verse]
When you leave us through the patient doors
That rattle in your ear will be the sound of our applause
Rapturous, considered and due
Oh, the nasty laughter and desperate smirks
Are tangled in the boredom where our brittle kisses lurk
Well, how can I believe you when you can't believe your luck?

[Chorus]
And the shards of past attraction lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper voice you use to speak
Oh, the shards of past attraction lie visible but shy
And blunt and weak and worn
Away by whining in the emery paper voice you use to speak

[Post-Chorus]
In the trap
You only want to be the first to laugh
You only want to be the first in the sandtrap
You only want to be the first to laugh

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
And you climb in holes and sink the claws
Ring out like the plan she'd had just sent us all towards
Farewell, farewell, farewell
