Swatting At Flies

The only thing I ever made in my life was a fist

The only thing that ever proved that I'd exist

Broken glass looks best when the sun's goin' down

Take it from me, I'm broken too and there's lots of us around

Like swatting at flies 'til they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say, "When it rains you, know it always pours"

Like hearing "No" again and slamming of doors

I've been alone, I've been together and I've been lost

I've been making my decisions like the coins that I toss

The slower they walk, you know the harder it gets

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regrets

Like swatting at flies 'til they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say, "When it rains, you know it always pours"

Like hearing "No" again and slamming of doors

Enjoying myself's just been an afterthought

I never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taught

If I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my head

But I never could fill the words that I said

Like swatting at flies 'til they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say, "When it rains, you know it always pours"

Like hearing "No" again and slamming of doors

Like slamming of doors

Like swatting at flies
