Idyll - I Never Win

Keep the wish, keep the key
Keep the part you wanted from me

You can't dress like weather's soft mouth bad math
Said love at overhead, said skin hat tax
I stood there with my house on fire
My children sleeping in the smoke
You held out your empty hands like I was born to owe

I never win
I never win
I never win with what wants me
I never win
I never win
I never win with them

If you were true as the river charges
The moon arrives with empty pockets
I open the door and lose a window
I light the room and someone sells the flame
And the friends with folded faces only bloom when they need rain
I am not a bank with arms, I am not a bed with change
So take your price and lose my number
Take your hunger off my name

I never win
I never win
Not like this again
Never, never
Not like this again
