lyrics
As nails fall upon our heads
the chair splits beneath its legs
the change we’d leave beside the bed
never counted, never spent
there’s no need to please
anyone but you and me
‘cause we’re the wreck
No one could covet where we lay
beside our empty yesterday
tomorrow looks to be the same
a lost pair of dreams
the days we’d both forget to eat
‘cause we’re the wreck
now we weave past each other and ignore
the draught that blows the dust across the floor
what is mine and what is your’s
doesn’t matter anymore
the disloyal seeds
that gave the soil to the weeds
we’re the wreck
I never know the words to say
they trip on red tape
they halt at my teeth, I wonder
What part of trouble calls your name
contorted aims
visions that veer us under
I breathe in all that you exhale
dust left us pale
ghosts to forget our hunger
the drinks that make it all go away
bent out of shape
sums with the oddest numbers
as I piece together all of your pain
we’ll find one place
to hold its shape tomorrow
