Typhoon - Prosthetic Love

My folks they left the TV on
I was falling in love years before I ever met someone
Like a prayer you donu0027t expect an answer
Though you ask for one

Assured my love would come along
Like some rare bird and only I would recognize its song
Like the actress Iu0027d seen on the television
With the stage lights on

What I found was a gamble
You threw yourself in with me
Made a cross and you lit a candle
But we were only

Strangers cornered in a dark room
Projecting slides of cozy lives on the wall
And in the light I thought I saw you
Or was it nothing at all

Of everyone I ever knew
Iu0027m giving it all to you
And asking everything in return
I have nothing left to lose
Iu0027ll get it back through you
Iu0027ll take your offer

Each time I wake Iu0027m still alive
Outlived my expiration date imagine my surprise
A backwards take on the book of Job
His life was wager and mineu0027s a joke
Give him what he wants he will never know
Heu0027s tied up trying to let himself go

Of everyone I ever knew
Iu0027ve gotten used to you
Iu0027ve grown attached to you being here
Of everyone I ever knew
I learned to count on you
As my own fingers
