Bitter Ruin – Through the Bricks Lyrics

I fell apart today
Ash on a cigarette
I crumbled away
We played a jigsaw for a million years
Got to the end to find a piece disappeared
And now we don't want to play

Trying to run through the bricks was a stupid idea
Perfectly good ways of escaping were right in front of me
What am I trying to fix 'cause I'm not going clear
And it's clearer than ice
That you wouldn't fight that's me and you both
And this hope is killing me

I sent a siren home
Swam to the rock that marks
The danger zone
I'm glowing phosphorescently
So no boats sail over here (from yonder there)
Black water tales
Warn sailors from coming near
So I drift alone

Trying to run through the bricks was a stupid idea (stupid idea)
When perfectly good ways of escaping were right in front of me
And what am I trying to fix 'cause I'm not going clear
And it's clearer than ice
That you wouldn't fight that's me and you both
And this hope is killing me

And I write down all the letters
And I write down but the words disappear

Trying to deny what exists 'cause I hate the idea
Of starting from scratch when I am exhausted you're my identity
I'm clawing at straws and ignoring the knowledge
That never did they hold the weight
Of all of the flaws and all the mistakes you saw instead of me
Oh yeah hey
