Broken Bones

Picking up broken words

Snipping the tips off

Grinding down the long ones

That wind around your eardrums

Dangerous plastic words

For crowd dispersal

And dumb dumb words

That could blow your head off

This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you, oh

I just need a little more time with you

One fine day you'll sing

Your inevitable love song

Inevitable lie song

Inevitable cry song

Time bends broken bones

Time bends broken bones

'Til they wrap around your throat

And snap around your fingers

This is a story 'bout the three of us

Down by the water and the tide is rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you, oh

Down by the water and the tide keeps rising

This world is burning and I'm terrified

I need a little more time with you

Oh, I just need a little more time with you

Oh please, just a little more time with you
