lyrics

At The Seams

Speak now softly on the way out
The door
you don’t even know who you’re fighting for
And the sound of the waves
As they tumble and break
As they break across your face

It’s a sickness I suppose
Waking up in our party clothes
It’s a good rhyme to the baseline I suppose
All the parting lips and these sinking ships and these
Well I got nowhere to go

All my life I’ve known I’ve just been coming home
And all my life I’ve seen all these people bending and breaking
At the seams
At the seams

Oh hun you got to know this is a supernatural love
But it’s come undone
All the silence it’s just eating you up
Like a good drug
There ain’t no need for fuss
All the time’s been cut up
Snow puddlin’ up on the good rug

It’s a sickness I suppose
Waking up in our party clothes
It’s a good rhyme to the baseline I suppose
All the parting lips and these sinking ships and these
Well I got nowhere to go

All my life I’ve known I’ve just been coming home
And all my life I’ve seen all these people bending and breaking
At the seams
At the seams

First I’m gonna make it now then I’m gonna break it down
First I’m gonna make it now then I’m gonna break it down
First I’m gonna make it right then I’m gonna break it right down
First I’m gonna make it right then I’m gonna break it right down
First I’m gonna make it now then I’m gonna break it down
First I’m gonna make it now then I’m gonna break it right down
