I could only look at you as another crack in the dam of my morality A wave of feelings meant to untangle and unwind my heart and make it feel something sweet It wasn’t your fault you didn’t know it was soaked and flooded with sin I go home plenty nights with my clothes soaked in beer and my teeth in nicotine The teeth that keep cracking in my dreams of insecurity Cracking and falling fences keeping me in falling Through a ******* blowing wind And in this scene all I see are the silhouettes of my regret In every life-giving breath provided by a cigarette I could walk for days away from you I would walk straight into a fire, flood, or plague Rather than feel what I did again Madness is a sea of caring for someone like you I can’t be bothered to be eclipsed by care again
I change faces like I change shoes Trying people on for size to temporarily fill the glass of emptiness that is my heart Its been dropped and chipped and put back together but why would you choose mine over a fresh, clean new glass I don’t blame you I know you see the turmoil I would cause you right on my face And I feel bad for the others who haven’t been able to see it so clearly I don’t mean to hurt anyone but maybe I do
