AMERICAN STEEL LYRICS - Or, Don't You Remember?

AMERICAN STEEL LYRICS



"Or, Don't You Remember?"






The summer sun gleans sickly off my jaundiced skin

Reflecting last night's sins

All last night's sins

I lie awake with your hot breath on my neck

Our thoughts are separate

All thoughts are separate



And while you're drifting off to sleep

My bones will shake and seethe



What do you want me to say?

What do you want me to do?

Say the same tender words

And come running back to you?

Don't you remember?

You washed your hands of me



Your wringing hands



I have once flinched before

Under your desperate stare

You cry that you are lost

All things are lost



I don't seek cruelty

I've loved you all the while

Please go your own way

Make your own way



And while you're drifting off to sleep

My bones will shake and seethe



What do you want me to say?

What do you want me to do?

Say the same tender words

And come running back to you?

Don't you remember?

You washed your hands of me
