"Can't"
Written and recorded by Alan Lastufka and Tom Milsom - http://youtube.com/hexachordal
LYRICS:
He can't put into words
Just how she made him melt
She molded folded, pasted and cut
His edited heart was her favorite work of art
And it surprised him every day
They way she made him obey
He can't see clearly
Through love tinted eyes
Her erotic, robotic bedroom lies
Paid off in a blur for the minute he was let inside her
He can't complain about he strain
Of her relationship games
He can't dream vividly
While nightmares run wild
She blocked, locked and mocked his smile
He's been destroyed
Tears come falling from her trained toy
And with a sigh he can't explain why
But he can't say "goodbye."
Video written by Alan Lastufka and Ed Stockham.

It's about a boy in a relationship with a girl who is basically using him. He cant say why he loves her or why he can't leave. She's got him trained.
At the end, he finally finds the strength to leave. She steps into the light and you see that she, too, is a toy.
The end is open to interpretation, I believe it means she was used, too, in a past relationship, or that she is realizing how much he meant to her. hope it helps.
