about

Rat’s old flame sings about a man who’s hard to love, and even harder to forget.

lyrics

He’s on that thing again
He says it sounds like Hendrix
I can’t hear a goddamn thing
He’s not in bed again
I’ll fall asleep alone
But I can dream about a different sound

He tells me that I’m crazy
He can’t hear me when I sing
I’ve got scars that bleed affection
He swears that’s not his thing
Everything I’ve ever had, I’ve gotten for myself
He’s the king of noise, I know
I’m the queen of something else

He’s my nothing, he’s my nothing
He’s my nothing, and that’s everything

We’re flying out again
To see some band from Dayton, O
Then back around again
I’m on my feet again
I’m waiting for my man to come
He’s passed out on the bathroom floor

I think he thinks I’m lazy
I can’t stay awake that long
When his eyes are rolling backwards
His brain still buzzes strong
Everything I could become, I’ve tossed off in the dirt
Just to mend his favorite beanie
And wash his stupid shirts

He’s my nothing…

He tells me that I’m crazy
He can’t hear me when I sing
I’ve got scars that bleed affection
He swears that’s not his thing
Everything I’ve ever had, I’ve gotten for myself
He’s the king, he’s the king, he’s the king!

He’s my nothing, he’s my nothing…
And that’s everything
