Lyrics

CHICKEN WIRE DOOM:

Well I know you’re afraid
Of those bright and sunny days
When your walls look like chicken wire doom
So you sit back, thinking at length
And you cry while you lie in wait
Of something you are losing anyway

I heard you say I look forlorn
That my leather’s getting weathered and torn
You spun that broken record like the bells of truth
Only when I’m leaving you want me to stay
And when I’m unwilling you still won’t be brave
If I’d a knew a smoother way to loose
I’d likely still pin it all on you

So I’ll leave your love letters
With the toll bills on the table
I’ll never open them
I feel my debt’s already been paid

Guess I figured you’d save
Old smiles for my darker days
As you walk by with your new lover near
Yes and I guess I’m the fool
Slunked over and showing through
Just like my bottle: empty in my room, too
