Pieces

I live my life in pieces
That are clearly marked with lines
I can try to put them back together
But I never find the time
Means I'm never sure of
Where I come from or belong
Leaves me feeling rootless
Or that something's slightly wrong

Brother says he feels the same
Or at least he did before
See he's got roots and a family now
So he's more complete for sure
My sister always says to me
"Why can't you just enjoy?"
There's always a scab to be picked with you
And now the scars are getting sore

Could it be
You are the one that can save me
But I don't want to take it?
Should this be the end
I'll be the one to break it
I'll be the one to break it

House with no foundations
Is a house that's never safe
So does that mean I'm destined
To always creak and shake?
Ever at the mercy
Of others whims and charms
A gust of wind could knock me down
And rip me at the sides

Could it be
You are the one that can save me
But I don't want to take it?
Should this be the end
I'll be the one to break it
I'll be the one to break it

I'll just keep moving
Not think about the source
Makes it all less obvious
That I can't control my course
One day I'll run out of steam
Slowly grind to a halt
With no one to lean on or to blame
I'll know it's been my fault

Could it be
You are the one that can save me
But I don't want to take it?
Should this be the end
I'll be the one to break it
I'll be the one to break it

I live my life in pieces
That are clearly marked with lines
I should try and put them back together
But I never find the time
