ON BROKEN WINGS LYRICS

1. I Do My Crosswords In Pen

Ink bleeds deeper when pressed hard.
Soaks through paper and leaves stains on the table.
You don't look how I pictured.
You don't look quite how I remember.
I'll tell myself
"I cannot surround me"
But some smiles both resurrect and drain the life from me.
I don't tell you everything.
It's heartless,
The pictures remind me I'm calloused to smiles.

2. Deep Six

I hate the way you're looking at me lately;
It makes me want to choke that smile off your face.
I don't say this often but tonight I think I might.
This time I'm really drowning, swallowed by consuming seas.
I'm not sure if I'm sinking or if you're sinking me.
I can't even swallow, my heart feels so swollen.
I'd love to show you what I meant by:
”I'd like to see you dead.’’
You can't separate my eyes.
I don't say this often but tonight I think I might;
”If you could make this last
I would take the world from you.”
As if a wasted past could ever totally consume me.
Maybe by tomorrow, you'll have stopped your respirating.
God I hope the sayings true
And he broke the mold when he made you.

3. Tether

“Show me the stairway I have to climb.
Lord, for my sake teach me to take one day at a time”
Wash it away
It's too much for on soul to take.
Yeah, I think you're sucked down to far into this.
So now tonight, so far, it's alright.
Should this seem safer underneath blankets and sheets?
Still can't hide your face and you're still not home.
Take me from my room alone.

4. I Hope You Don’t Get Raped In Cancun

You know where I'm coming from
When I say what I say
It's not about last night.
It's more about the things to come.
To lose you to spring breaks,
That you view as accepted,
But it wounds me to know that this can't
Last forever on love alone.
I seem to recognize your radiance.
”Perhaps it's time you spread your wings
You know, fly?
That's all I can tell you”
But I don't do so well with change.
But I can't live this way forever.
”I don't know what you are looking for
But I know it's not here.”

5. My Life, Your Movie

Drill in your face, wasted life
What that means to me
Sectioning your thoughts.
Could you show me sometime?
With all my words
You could not paralyze.
This is not what I'm mesmerized by.
Why don't I have more focus?
Defined by what's around.
Systematically speaking I'd like you fuck you up.
California's not far enough
Can you see what this means to me
And discard it away?

6. Lovesick

Something different
Something new
When all I do is think of you.
Starring at an empty wall
Cluttered with pictures of you so beautiful.
I'll swallow one last eyeful
only to turn and fall (to my knees).
Something different
something new
when all I do is think of you.
A subsidiary lookout point
Before I'm fining out on my own.
Begging to fall asleep
It's innocent, I need you.
Begging to fall asleep, lying here wasting winks.
Wait on promises of better things.
You left so much space
But I can't make a move since you said
”Why are you breaking down?
We're only breaking up.
After all it's not like you loved me anyways”
But if I did, would I even stand a chance?
I don't know what love is
Or maybe this is love.
