lyrics

I was fighting fire with boxing gloves
And armbands around my ankles
Been reminiscing 'bout the distant past
And I'm feeling strangely grateful
We were regaled by different tales
Of jungles and dark castles
I was ushered to sleep by peaceful dreams
While you curled up with raw knuckles

And I let nostalgia beat the shit out of me on a daily basis
Remembering when you feared the one whose name you knew, but remained faceless
She died every night

Every time I tried to apologise
Two words came out at once
On two twisted prongs
Brother, did I cross you when I sold you clothes
From the comfortable shopfront that we called our home?
Time is the victor between creeping vines
Time is a bastard and so was I

Let nostalgia beat the shit out of me on a daily basis
Remembering when you feared the one whose name you knew, but remained faceless
She died every night
She died every night
And you cried some of the time
Because Yvonne was on your mind

Unabash'dly an asshole for half my life
Now I'm glad everything's alright
Sticks and stones were thrown
There were verbal blows
But you turned out alright - you're just fine
