lyrics

I've been sippin' at this heat alone for a while
And I can't help but wonder what bumble singed me with hunger
Have I always been one to play with fire
My mistakes were a stove, burning hot as the coals
I raked myself over, and over, and over
Those warnings I spurned 'cause my fingers still yearn
For a heat 'cause all I'm feelin' are embers

And then I remember I'm my own worst remedy
For I poisoned every comfort and I swallow all my needs
And I know in my shy unruly way
I cheapen all my love by throwin' all my pain away

I've been slippin' with these patchwork arms of mine
Through the hallows of my own invention
For a heart's always a heart, ably beats itself apart
In that manic art of pain prevention

Still loneliness clings, hits like a pendulum swing
But swimmin' off kilter's the only way I've ever known
That dry spell drove me sideways, upturned and I was waylaid
But that road was ruined better pave a new one on my own

But then I remember I'm my own worst remedy
For I poisoned every comfort and I swallow all my needs
And I know in my shy unruly way
I cheapen all my love by throwin' all my pain away
