lyrics

This song is about Francis, a character I reference in almost all of the work I've produced. He was a man who held a great deal of power over me for about a year of my life. I've been told by others that he treated me very badly, but his power still has a hold over me and I can only see him with a sheen - still perfect, still beautiful, warm, kind, emotional, sensitive, caring, generous. I'm singing to myself in this song. I'm singing to the self that still loves Francis. I want to hold onto the knowledge that in his leaving I was freed.

You're the exception that tests the rule
My cold heart's put up those walls
My slut heart breaks a tunnel through

You know you can believe yourself
You know that what you think is true
But there's this pain and fear inside
Cold in a place deep within you

This is a good year for vampires
This is a good year for never learning any lessons
This is a good year for carbohydrates
You will learn that happiness is a missed call
