Osmosis

from the album, Like...This

I get my kisses through osmosis, get my love in measured doses.
‘Suppose it could get easier now that you're no longer here.
I got a patch across my worn out crotch to match the one across my heart.
It delivers what I want but not exactly what I'm needing.
kisses.

Needing to suck both their tongues out of their mouths
as I sit here feeling so strung out.
They're angel-hounds as they look at me and lick my wounds to bleeding.

Behaved so good for fifteen minutes but I'm only really good when I'm in it,
so let's finish off these sober dreams and get back to the sweet extreme
of kisses through osmosis.

It takes more man than I have in me now
to stay clear of that sacred cow,
so I bow down to the ground
as my hand goes for the dagger.

I throw myself into someone else's arms
thinking it could do me no harm,
but it only goes to show you
just how much is really broken.

I can still make out your shroud-of-Turin imprint in the bed as I lay in it
and make the best of
all that I have left of you.
I get kisses through osmosis.
