Stitches & Bandages

Take your frustrations And hide them away Deep in your chest Where you know they'll be safe Your breath is shallow And your face is flushed With blackbirds of white lies And bread crumbs of trust I am a monster You're frightened by my words My volume's increasing To make sure I'm heard Then you hold me closely And pray I don't leave But cold shoulder kisses Still burn on my cheek I need to know about your dreams And how they line up here with me Without your broken heart My habit of mending Is often pretending to be The stitches and the bandages you need Your cries are endless A sorrowful song Plucking the strings Of your heart all along Wipe the Tears from your glasses To see what you've lost The sharp pain of blunt force And traumatic thoughts So Take all the heartache And hide it away Deep in your chest With the memories and pain Driving in darkness You swallow your crutch With white pills on black ice And oncoming trucks I need to know about your dreams And how they line up here with me Without your broken heart My habit of mending Is often pretending to be The stitches and bandages you need So Take your frustrations And hide them away Deep in your chest Where you know they'll be safe Your breath is shallow And your face is flushed With blackbirds of white lies And bread crumbs of trust With blackbirds of white lies And bread crumbs of trust With blackbirds of white lies And bread crumbs of trust
