Would You Rather

from S/T LP by Negative Scanner

	/

lyrics

Holed up in your hiding place:
a dimly lit cave, off Division Street haste.
Friends all make you wanna hide your face.

Nothing is worth all your pain,
not love, not sex. Nothing will ever be the same.
It’s all the same shit, just a different day.

Could we return there, drive through rain?
Gas station coffee, highway star gaze.
Stare out windows, wondering if you’ll dissipate.

Will you dissipate?

Wait in the dark while they’re all asleep.
Count down from a hundred and wait for me;
at zero, set me atop a washing machine.

Say it sounds sweet, a perpetual tease,
the idea was better than it ever could be.
Sublimation. Or are you done with me?

Am I just a novelty?
Do you like it when I beg and plead,
or would you rather just sit at home and read?

Would you rather sit at home and sleep?

Or you could walk into the woods, and I’ll walk into the sea.
Never stop, never stop, never stop walking.
Never stop, never stop, and we’ll never meet.
