Old Joy - My Kind of Love Lyrics

The bitterness of your caustic kiss
Has not aged as well as your excuses
For why we should or shouldn't do this
Or the evidence you said would prove that we're wasting our time
But at least we're alive
And I'm sorry you don't know my kind of love
Cuz the way that you love is so hollow
Callous and flippant and borrowed
Entitled, afraid of tomorrow
But tomorrow today will just be yesterday
And I'm tired as hell now of screaming
It's so loud but it never gets heard
I've been pouring out waterspout words
But I've never been any more sure
That nothing I've planted will grow
I'm just waiting for failing to show
And I'm flailing around in the snow
Just as pale as the sheet that I'm slowly streaking
With bed sores and sweat and moist moans
The tastelessness of your just deserts
Hasn't grown any simpler to swallow
Your tears are a tough act to follow
And your hatred is one half as hollow
As your voice when you whine
Or my eyes when I say "goodbye"
Well I never asked you for your friendship
Your loyalty, your presence, your love
Or your help or your faith or your trust
But you keep cryin' behind me because
You want my kind of love
But from me it just won't be enough
Everyone in this world needs a Jesus
Someone to hang in the daylight
For the shit we commit in the darkness
The first nail they drive in is the hardest
But the more blood that spews
The easier it is to lose

The bitterness of your caustic kiss
Has not aged as well as your excuses
For why we should or shouldn't do this
Or the evidence you said would prove that we're wasting our time
But at least we're alive
And I'm sorry you don't know my kind of love
Cuz the way that you love is so hollow
Callous and flippant and borrowed
Entitled, afraid of tomorrow
But tomorrow today will just be yesterday
And I'm tired as hell now of screaming
It's so loud but it never gets heard
I've been pouring out waterspout words
But I've never been any more sure
That nothing I've planted will grow
I'm just waiting for failing to show
And I'm flailing around in the snow
Just as pale as the sheet that I'm slowly streaking
With bed sores and sweat and moist moans
The tastelessness of your just deserts
Hasn't grown any simpler to swallow
Your tears are a tough act to follow
And your hatred is one half as hollow
As your voice when you whine
Or my eyes when I say "goodbye"
Well I never asked you for your friendship
Your loyalty, your presence, your love
Or your help or your faith or your trust
But you keep cryin' behind me because
You want my kind of love
But from me it just won't be enough
Everyone in this world needs a Jesus
Someone to hang in the daylight
For the shit we commit in the darkness
The first nail they drive in is the hardest
But the more blood that spews
The easier it is to lose
