Gaslight Anthem
gradually, subtly

I would offer you tea, except it would burn the tongue you
Needlessly lash my way when I'm
Sure, sexy, slumping, slurping on my sorrys
I wonder if you know that I
Do not know reality anymore
Itchy palms to touch the love you once blanketed upon me
Only you've woven smallpox into my small box
Useless to question the who's who of fuses: we are artificial light, and I'm your bedroom's fixture:
Sconce, shaken, dim-witted, daft.
