Song One

How does one speak?
I never know what to say
I decided that’s okay
I slept in through the day

Where does truth live?
I stuffed my mouth with handkerchief
I figured that’s the righteous way
To hold these thoughts at bay

Go, carry on
I’ll be in my room
Run your mouth to the ground
I refuse to speak
I won’t come outside
To say what I don’t mean
I won’t dampen your day
Your hours Vespertine

But isolation, it gets to you
Misery, piling upon misery
I cut my wrist in half
I cut my wrist in half

Collateral damage
It looks like a carnage
Left a hole, a big gaping hole
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole
Swallow me whole

I wanted to settle down
Rejoice in my silence
Keep asking the big, big questions in life
But they all keep speaking
All keep speaking
No one takes a break
No one takes a break
No one takes a break

And so I speak
About your dollhouse and your kicks
Your shopping list regrets
Your plans for the riverside
How you missed your chance to ride
The hottest ticket in real estate
Cause greater things can wait
Cause greater things can wait
