Congratulations Sex

No more congratulations sex
Any aging mascot would place that bet
No more congratulations sex

Aged love sleeps heavily
I've grown unaware of your beauty
Though nothing about you has changed
It is me who is deranged

I hate not knowing what I knew
I'm not dead in the tomb
Just lifeless enough to stay
Just lifeless enough to stay

Tired of tragedies being trumped
Tired of romance being sung
Tired of the past being hung
Like a cinder block around my neck
Covering my heart up

No more congratulations sex
No more congratulations sex

I don't believe that you're reading
Finnegan's Wake
No more congratulations sex

Every apology that you make
You expect me to reciprocate
Step into the sinking sandpit
Start to feel the dull panic
They are patient sadistic onlookers
You are the crashing plane
Of figure skaters

Tired of tragedies being trumped
Tired of romance being sung
Tired of the past being hung
Like a cinder block around my neck
Covering my heart up
