lyrics

Fatuous Love
By Anna Brooks

Arms went missing,
blood beats fast.
I’ve been kissing
an invisible man.
I’ve been stained make up
on sheets from your bed.
I’ve been fake lashes
that bat from the ashes.
You said
you loved me
but I heard don’t leave me instead,
and I never let it burn.

Fatuous love, bricks in your mortar.
It’s breaking yourself
over and over.
It’s swimming in the perfume of poison
to get though
the pain in the name
of your love.

Arms went missing,
hands got cold.
Always wishing
you’d come home.
You’ve been shy charm and a shout in the rain.
You’ve been high mountains
too distant to tame.
I was waiting
with a rope and and an anchor in hand.
Oh, I didn’t understand.
