Tommy Gun

See through
An open window with a cellophane roof
With your heart on your sleeve
Hide your tired arms and a bag of saline

I still loved you on that night
Pushed too deep into the socket, oh I tend to pry
Couldn't see the face behind the gun
But you were innocent I could tell anyone

You have your fathers eyes
But you only get drunk off of spite
And you don't share his hope for humankind
And I bet you could never tell me why

I'm twisting a knot
In hopes my hands can mend
Splitting forks in the road
Just to reach the same end
And yet I find I trace my steps
To all the places we could've went

I still love you on most nights
I'll hide it in a locket, fading black and white
I can feel it between my spine
A phantom limb I couldn't sever
If I ever tried
