One more break in the subconscious beat,
We’ll build us three words that are so easy to fake
And we’ll take what you give and we’ll give what you hate
And seven more wishes break down into graves
We’ll take two shots to the back of the neck
Some vodka and gin and something opaque
And each star falling is the last of our hearts
To shatter the glass over the funeral march
The last of ourselves was all that we lost
But like those that went before us we just pretend it’s okay
It’s a stain on our lips and a kiss never shared
A broken promise we sure as hell couldn’t make
Because we all knew it was so easy to break
To wasted words tainted with your mercy and grace
We’ll listen with holes in our heads feeling so out of place
We’ll pray “never again, oh please never again
I’ll stray from the breath and the touch of strange men”
So brother I’m broken pieces of stained sheets
The roses ground into the folds of the pleats
And nothing you could say can every right me
Because you can keep faking the words but not your eyes
And your eyes never lie even when you smile and pretend
I miss you is easy to say when you’re beside someone else
I love you is easy when you’re behind the guise of a phone
And suddenly what you want me for is a lie
And there comes a collision between my truths and deceptions
And. We. Just. Can’t. Fake. Anymore. Smiles.
