Cancers and Cures Lyrics by American Theory

Your Local Politics

2018

Now, honestly, I can’t explain the way
That you’re making me feel. It’s so real
The thought that I’d become infatuated
With the crusade for this heart of man
I’d let you go, but you’d pull me closer
Than I have ever been before
I’d try to run away, but you’d catch me faster
Than I could try and hide
I lost your name when you walked away
But I know your face: it’s still the same
And I’ll leave a boy and come back alive
But I know that I ain’t got no time for this
Tonight
Now, honestly, I can’t explain the taste
It’s something bitter, but the sight is surreal;
A scene I’d seen before when you took control
Low inhibitions blinded my peripheral
I’d try to fall, but you’d raise me higher
Than I had ever been before
I’d try to fade away
But you’d brought me
Back to live
I lost your name when you walked away
But I know your face: it’s still the same
And I’ll leave a boy and come back alive
But I know that I ain’t got no time for this
Tonight
You got ahold of me!
I took a dip in the ocean in downward motion:
A free-fall in my veins
I don’t wanna be this way anymore
Not anymore
You got ahold...no, not anymore
Not anymore
