The cruellest joke
Always punching down
Always striking out
Never seeing the bigger picture
What if we emptied you out
Of all your morals and fables?
Just elbows on the table
And rolled up cigarettes
Burning your fingers
I've been seeing myself
Through the eyes
Of someone else
I'm not the only one
That felt like a quitter
And when the pieces always fall
They fall the furthest apart
Until you don't
Know where to start
Most get close
But don't fit back together
(So, I fold)
In the shadow of the lucky ones
We're held together
By the strongest bond
There's a thinning of the shroud
A flicker in the cloud
The spaces in between
Are yours forever
Did I say something out of turn
That made you turn around
Made you look at me and frown
Made a summer
Afternoon feel like winter
We didn't realise it yet
But the worst it could get
Was not the worst it would get
But together
We'll weather the storm
(So, I fold)
In the shadow
Of the lucky ones
We're held together
By the strongest bond
There's a thinning
Of the shroud
A flicker in the cloud
The spaces in between
Are yours forever
(So, I fold)
I fold
The space in between will be yours
