lyrics
Oh, you know.
A broken boy, who wears complacency, so well.
Well, I guess it was our return to laughter.
And so we fell into the trap that took our fathers;
or so they tell. But I’ve seen light, and I don’t mind it.
Bred to please and shake these empty wall. You know you were right, after all. Don’t you hold your tongue for things unsaid; wont make this any easier.
Cause it wasn’t very nice, but I didn’t really care, cause your feet were on the ground, but your words were everywhere.
Deserted wit, cause you don’t think you need it now.
When the choice is her’s, she’ll salt my words, increase the silence.
Bred to please and shake these empty walls. You know you were right, beautiful.
Don’t you hold your head for things unsaid; wont make this any easier.
Cause it wasn’t very nice, but I didn’t really care, cause your feet were on the ground, but your words were everywhere.
Cause it’s never very nice, when you’re lying through your teeth. Just a pretty summer dress; with nothing underneath.
Deserted wit, cause you don’t think you need it now.
