05 No More Bread - Indie Lament
[Verse 1]
I opened the breadbox and the light cut like a knife
The bag was just a ghost of the life we used to slice
The mayo’s in the corner writing suicide notes on the lid
The pickles float like tiny green coffins that never got bid
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… I let the carbs run out
[Chorus]
There’s no more bread, no more bread
I’m wide awake, it’s mourning
There’s no more bread, no more bread
The deli meats are mourning
I counted every crumb on the floor
But love can’t live on crumbs anymore
There’s no more bread… no more bread…
[Verse 2]
The cheese is growing mold like a diary of regret
The turkey’s turning colors I’ll never forget
I tried to phone the bakery but the tears blurred all the keys
Now I’m on the kitchen linoleum screaming at the cheese
[Bridge]
If you were here you’d laugh and say
“It’s just bread, Conor, it’s okay”
But you’re not here and nothing’s okay
And the sandwich is the metaphor for everything that walked away
[Final Chorus]
NO MORE BREAD!
NO MORE BREAD!
I’m wide awake, it’s mourning
NO MORE BREAD!
The gluten-free sky is falling
I’ll never eat again…
Never eat again…
