Fretless

They come and they come

I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
Tether that ring and phrase

Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone

I can only swallow what I ate
No words spoken, no need to speak
Reach peace with a E-A-C
Reach for each other before you leave
Don't talk to me
(Don't talk to me)

No heart broken, no need to speak
Don't talk to me
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
(Don't talk to me)
And they come and they come
Don't threaten me with angry
And they come and they come
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun
(Talk to me)
And they come and they come

(Don't talk to me)
Enough with the rifle and talk already
(Talk to me)
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her
Don't try to tell me what I am
I accepted it with a gentle tongue
Take this conversation to your great divide
(Don't talk to me)
The die has been cast, the battle is won
(Don't talk to me)
They come and they come
We all know what it means

Please, please, please
I accepted it with a gentle tongue
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between

Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
(Don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
(Don't talk to me)
I accepted it with a gentle tongue
Don't talk to me about being alone
(Don't talk to me)
No heart broken, no need to speak
Don't talk to me about being alone
They come and they come
