Dead On

I've got a fistful of reassurance and two letters I've yet to write
Because my conscience has been tied up
With the times just like tonight
And if you
Speak softly and walk even softer
You might just hear my words
Because the sunlight has yet to hit my window
And I'm yet to be heard

Thirty seconds left until impact
So try and brace yourself
With all those reassuring complements you don't mean, but you tell
So tell me how you desperately searched for someone just like me
And then I'll act so weak
Just as you speak those
Lies between your teeth
Between your teeth

So now the words fall just like broken glass
On a floor under bare feet
And the shards of vowels and consonants come brandishing defeat
And no one else will recognize the way we slowly parted paths
Another night alone will help us realize that we just have

Thirty seconds left until impact
So try and brace yourself
With all those reassuring complements you don't mean, but you tell
So tell me how you desperately searched for someone just like me
And then I'll act so weak
Just as you speak those
Lies between your teeth

Thirty seconds left until impact
So try and brace yourself
With all those reassuring complements you don't mean, but you tell
So tell me how you desperately searched for someone just like me
And then I'll act so weak just as you speak those
Lies between your teeth
Between your teeth
