Lyrics
Sometimes things break
A branch on a tree
And it rains
The moisture seeps into the wound
Bits of dirt and bacteria
Sometimes we become infected
And a parasite attaches itself to feed on the good parts
Sometimes things break
The lock on a door to a new apartment
The clasp on a necklace caught by the threads of a shirt we take off for someone
Or maybe our shirt was taken off
Sometimes things break
A fingernail as it grabs, grasps toward anything in a reach for stability
Something to catch before we fall
Maybe a claw at the floor while being pulled back from an escape
Sometimes things break
Our patience and trust
A tear in response to words
Our voice in anger
Desperation
A bond and comfort
Trust Between strangers
A love for everything you are and aren't like two towers in a city destined for tragedy
Sometimes things break
And regardless of when, where, why, how
That is what they were made for
It was always going to happen
And we were always going to be two leaves on a broken branch, falling
Two parts of a golden clasp stretched and pulled apart
Two nails on a pretty hand trying to dig in the floor
Two bodies on fire in a window fifty stories up
Two Hearts in hurt that can't mend each other's wounds
Sometimes things break
And we crumble
Looking down at our toes and we try to catch the parts of us we're losing
Our reflections are Painful
Our accounts are empty
Our homes turn to houses
Our rooms feel empty
Our skin has less shine
Our Kiss becomes tense
Our touch is less present
Our eyes feel less warm
Our skies are less blue
Our circles are smaller
Our cups are never full
Our stomach gets flatter
Our phones rings less
Our emotions are heavy
Our baggage is heavy
Our time is running out
Our ride just left
Our plane is late
Our bodies are shaking
Our breaths are shorter
Our moments are gone
Our memories blocked
Our families worry
Sometimes things fucking break
