Murky eyes and ruffled lips
Your face is a page but I'm reading it like a brick
Drunken words and twisted wires
I'm trying to make amends but I'm starting fires
And this is the way that I tell you
This is the way that I call you out
Sometimes I wish that I could not
Sometimes I wish that I could not hear your heart
One year on but two steps back
You've learned the lines well but I'm seeing straight through the act
Empty arms and empty praise
I'm trying to swim but I'm sinking without a trace
