Ed Bah & Beyond Songtext

Hardened! and that's tragic. We promised we'd stay desperate, and desperate we'll stay.

When it's this cold and you drop me off, I can justify "tears are from wind-burned eyes," as you drive away.

But it's not the wind streaking dry cheeks and making my smiles weak, and it's not the wind whose hands on my back are loved and missed.

I can pretend I'm fine if it'll keep you coming. Just don't overbreed or take more than you need. Jealousy said, "I'm overfed," and to a starving day: "I miss you desperately." I said I'm fine, but isn't that everything we said we'd never be?

Just don't drive off thinking poverty's not following. My heart ties weights and drags reminding me as pioneers we were damned with the absence of precident. I'm dragged to starving pieces, as you drive away.
