lyrics

I’ve grown timid from tightrope walking
So eagerly tempting the fates
At the rate that these winds are changing
I’m bound to make a mistake

I’m so tired of this phantom dreaming
A meaning just out of my reach
If the head is a dead-end hallway
What’s the point of going to sleep?

I’m a piece in the puzzle
Just a part of the whole
But you make it so simple, darling
To pretend that I’m more
I’m a captive of memory
Always lost in a thought
But you make it so simple, honey
To believe that I’m not

I’m so dazed by this backwards talking
That nothing comes out when I speak
My tongue tangles in webs of language
Can I honestly say what I mean?

I’m too torn in my indecisions
To just grin and bear it alone
It’s the road with the least resistance
I’m convinced is the best way to go

I’m adrift on an ocean
In the path of a storm
But you make it so simple, darling
To wash me ashore
I’m a tear in the fabric
The dysfunctional home
But you make it so simple, honey
To reset the bone

I’m a sketch on a canvas
A chalk outline in white
But you make it so simple, sister
To bring me to life
I’m the rust in the padlock
On the gates of the heart
But you make it so simple, sugar
To break it apart
