lyrics

Could have left this letter at the breaking shore
And watched it float away
Instead, I put it up on the list of things
Not to do today
All the island folk like to make their jokes
‘Bout the coming miracle
They got graveyard smiles for a million miles
That are inconceivable
It’s okay, I don’t mind

I was done like leather in a stiff cold breeze
When I saw your silhouette
But then you stole the flame from me callously
And lit your cigarette
I was not too pleased, but I felt released
From a mystifying chain
And I wish I kept that kick in my step
And the balance in my veins
As it stands, it’s cast aside
And as for you, you’re alright

This will be the one that kills me slowly
Softly and sure
This will be the one that some spend
All their lives waiting for

I woke with a hunger to retaliate
Didn’t think you’d understand
‘Cause spraying the graffiti on the caution sign
Didn’t do just what I planned
So I raced that train in my dying Escape
While the gravel nicked the frame
And I had no doubt there were easy ways out
Where I could protect my name
But I swore this was war
I took on this incredible load
To fall through every floor
I wanted something more

Chorus

I’m getting pretty tired of drawing
With pastel teenaged thoughts and dreams
The people want a wide spread waiting for them
When they visit the museums
So I’ll sculpt some mess of a later success
Where the sights are so serene
But I’ll drop my guard and admit that it’s hard
Not to fear the in betweens
So for now, I’ve got this song
Better make sure it belongs

Chorus x2
