Quickfire, I Tried

Quickfire, I tried to be your solitude And to border and protect and to greet you Quickfire, I tried to be fun But by the time that I was drunk you were gone Quickfire, I tried to not be sad But the fabric wore away upon my knee Quickfire, I tried to be romantic But the silver is still waiting on the mantle Where your mother left it sitting last fall La, da-da Quickfire, I tried to take your gifts But I cannot change the way I hate most objects Quickfire, I though about the prize But they told me that I'd have to compromise Quickfire, I tried to be good But my fathers live inside me like old servants Quickfire, I tried to not go crazy But the winter got inside me anyway And it knows how long to stay La, da-da Quickfire, are we bound to be alone Or be together like a stone is with a stone? Quickfire, we are bound to be alone Or be together like a stone is with a stone Quickfire, I have tried to settle down But I am lifted by the sirens in my blood And they are not done with their song La, da-da
