Song by Sid Branca (2014) with this version mixed by Dakota Loesch (2015). Originally written for performance at Salonathon in Chicago.

lyrics

Every bad habit that keeps me alive is a good one
and that’s including you
and all the stupid things I do
that I’ll pretend to regret for you

I couldn’t tell a shorter story if I had all night
I’ve been dragging this shit around for my whole life
everyone’s a good excuse to be the way I am
it’s easy to feel crazy when I can blame a man

let me slowly build a language for this country I inhabit
a tongue that drunk and lonely lips can shape
I can say that I’ll stop hunting unavailable men
but you and I both know my greatest fetish is reticence

two steps toward you, then two steps away
two steps inside you, then three steps to betray

my loneliness has nothing to do with you
my loneliness has nothing to do

and what devil should I turn to when gods prove unkind?
all this foolish talk a shorthand for the real desire

I'm the dark queen of the slow fade
I’m the weird end to a long day
abstract desire in some arbitrary object

give me some spare night of safer harbor,
just these few hours rest
everybody loves a stranger,
and so keep your secrets just like giving a gift

I will not stop wanting what I cannot have
but maybe I can stop wanting to want that
I'm still here in the belly of the beast
I want to learn by feel the shape of all your injuries

my loneliness has nothing to do with you
my loneliness has nothing to do

I want to get inside your body like you got inside my head
I mean you in the general sense

I like to get what I want

my loneliness has nothing to do with you

I like to get what I want

I want to get inside your body like you got inside my head
I mean you in the general sense

my loneliness has nothing to do with you

I like to get what I want
