One Bedroom Apartment

C'è una sola parola per tutto questo, è quella parola è

straziante

Questa voce grezza, viva come un nervo scoperto, questa voce e queste parole ti sanno toccare nel profondo ogni volta, con quel pianoforte che saltella di tasto in tasto come un amore finito che balletta sul tuo cuore...


"Don't leave me
I'm bleeding
All over this linoleum floor
I'm still in disbelief
I'm drowning
Between the clear and blackening
From morning until night
I'm losing sight
Of all the beautiful things
There's nothing here for me
Without you
Right here beside me, why'd you go and go?
Why'd you go and leave me here
To rot inside this empty place?
I know that you are going far away
From morning until night
I'm losing sight
Of all the beautiful things

A man sits naked in the middle of the floor of a one bedroom apartment in New York City
And no one knows he's there and no one's left to care whether or not the next drop comes out
And the blood would be warm and the blood would hug him just like she used to
Before she left him in this fucking mess where only one sentence repeats itself and this is it:
It says, "I will never love again, and I will never love again"
And on the fifth day he placed everything he owned in the centre of the room and he watched it burn
As he recited all of the beautiful words that had ever come out of her mouth
And these are the same words that mock him now and tell him that she's not coming back,
That he is nothing, not worth a fuck, and only one sentence repeats itself:
Says, "I will never love again, and I will never love again,
And I will never love again and I will never love again"
And for the first time in 25 years he cried rivers of black shitty oil that careered down his chest
As the dam to his past broke, exploding, and it's sinking all of his future now
And that was then and this is now as the animals reach their fever pitch
And the windows implode in silence out of respect for the dying, out of respect for the dead
Says, "I will never love again and I will never love again,
And I will never love again and I will never love again
And before he can say stop he's running down the street to the beat of his feet and past all the faces,
Past all the places he's ever known, past all the traces he's left of himself
And into the sky and into the air, past all the stars as he's screaming out, "Why?"
Over the ocean in search of the only love that he will ever have
Says, "I will never love again, and I will never love again,
And I will never love again and I will never love again"
