Sweetness, That's Your Cue

What's that smell you ask, I think I know
 It's the smoldering of expectations long let go
 Would you suggest you might affect some change?
 Or are you banking that one decent poke might stoke the flames
 Is that your game?
 And I know such things aren't the same for you
 But what gets me through is all I ever knew
 And you can try but you won't bust through
 Still I won't hold that against you, against you
 See I am a sinking ship and I am listing
 To and fro with everything I used to know
 I am a busted pipe and I am pissing, away
 Everything I used to hold, I used to hold
 And I know such things aren't the same for you
 But what gets me through is all I ever knew
 People try but they don't bust through
 Still I won't hold that against you, against you
 So don't think twice if I disappear
 I'll be gone for a little while, I'm gone, gone
 Now where you been sweetness?
 I've missed your face
 Your resolve seems to have disappeared
 Without a trace
 Where's your reassuring tongue?
 Dear, how I've missed your voice
 Was it me who silenced you?
 Yeah, well I had no choice, I had no choice
 And I know such things aren't the same for you
 But what gets me through is all I ever knew
 People try but they can't break through
 Still I won't hold that against you
 No matter what you might try and do
 Hey sweetness, that's your cue
