lyrics

Cicada, you're sooty.
And I'm moody; I can't take it anymore.
You're humble, and baby, I'm awful,
So you're leaving me behind.

You think you're so precious.
Well I guess you were right, shit.
And in another time, shit, you were mine.

But Mantis, man, you're fine.
You can crawl in my arms all night, if that's what you want.
Man you know I fucking need that, and oh, I fucking feel that,
and you know I lost that, so long ago.

If you wanted to leave me,
You could have said it more sweetly.
You could have let me off easy,
but this will have to do.

If you wanted to leave me,
You could have said it more sweetly,
You could have let me down gently,
but this will have to do.

Cicada, give me my wings back,
The buzz in my head's left, but I still think of you.
I try to make coffee, but I picture you in my sleeves,
Standing next to me, like...

Nothing was better than that in Duluth,
Staring out with you,
The tracks of some railcar,
All that's gone.

If you wanted to leave me,
You could have said it more sweetly,
Could have let me off easy,
But this will have to do.

If you wanted to leave me,
You could have said it more sweetly,
Could have let me down easy,
Yeah, this will have to do.

You should know I'm fine now,
I'm doing alright now.
I'm taking my time now, god,
I hope you're fine now,
I hope you're doing alright now.
