lyrics

Like a glass of water all filled up
On the dashboard of a shaky car
First we were spilling over on
Anyone willing to get close
Until we were empty
And now the car doesn’t even start
It’s showing its age despite
Its many new parts

What were those promises we whispered by the lake
Were they so flimsy that any wind could take
How can we sleep so close and drift so far away
Where are those whispers by the lake?

My skin it is somewhat tender
My teeth they are somewhat sharp
I undress in the bright of day
Then bare my teeth when it gets dark
It’s been said my bite can soften
Or I could learn to kiss instead
A lesson you thought you’d teach me but
I was schooled in self defense

It used to be the house was still
No sounds to wake me in the night
Now I lay awake till dawn
The walls they creak with troubled times
A scales weights, they fall so loud
The neighbors fret along with me
Will the scales say we’re blessed
Or prisoners of our unlived dreams?
