Two Small Deaths Lyrics

Two small deaths happened today,
While I was at work, while I was at play
No less light darkens my door,
So I cannot cry, what is that for

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e67446-wye_oak~two_small_deaths_lyrics.html ]
Is this the way my mind works,
Forwards always forwards
Is this the way my brain waves,
Backwards, sideways

I've no heart as strong and as lasting
To miss and to mourn
The world at their passing

I'm saving up all of my strength
For when I finally fail
At keeping you safe

When my last friend should leave me,
Slow and easy,
I'll be creeping around them,
Picking pockets
