Fault Lines

Ask me again and I'll

Try to refrain

From feeding you lies that I

Use to explain

When I'm mirroring you here

With my hands in the air

I'm not doing justice

I'm just doing what I can bear

(Ooh)

Shaken awake to my

Gruesome mistake

Flames at my feet

Like a witch at the stake

You said tell us the truth

Here's your chance to deny

But I couldn't answer

Much less look you back in the eye

(Ooh)

I used you as my alibi

Said there's nothing to see

The real victim is me

It's just when I bear my soul

The world it bares it's teeth

I hid from the fight

Like a little kid might

Cause words are so harmless

All tongue and no bite

Or so I had thought

And then, to my surprise

The sentiment lingered

And festered inside

And then I blow to the air

And I fell to the side

An argument toppled

Years of my life

Flashing by (Ooh)

Well I tried my best to cover it

But you cannot hide

The depth of fault lines

When plates start to shake

And it breaks the last straw in my

Mind

But an eye for an eye

You know what it does to your mind

Any song I could write

It's only a pick in the ice

I'll make my bed, there I shall lie

The graveyard I've passed, by a thousand times

Out of sight, out of mind

The promise I make

Knowing I can't make things right
