Through Your Teeth

It's not lying if you're just not telling the whole truth,
but it can hurt a whole lot more than you think.
so drown my heart and move out to sea.
Just me. no you or your sins. just me and these broken wings.

'Cause sometimes we need a break from the real thing,
but what real thing?
are you lying?
And sometimes we just need, to explain all the loop holes,
tell the truth till the doors close,
and follow your heart out to sea.

Swimming in the waves,
pushed under by lies like lullabies,
just like lullabies.
holding each word close to your heart,
each memory,
from the start.

And even when you're not with me,
I can feel you, and hear your breathing,
And even when you don't think of me,
I'm still swimming,
trying to reach land.

so shut your mouth, close up all these lies,
tuck away your smiles, and kiss me goodbye.

Swimming in the waves,
pushed under by lies like lullabies,
just like lullabies.
holding each word close to your heart,
each memory,
from the start.

trying to erase these, footprints in sand,
remember where we went,
where it could have ended.
still choking on those words,
what you refused to tell me,
why wouldn't you tell me?

and, swimming, through the crashing waves (trying so hard)
and, singing me lies in my sleep (don't lie to me)
the lullabies of love (don't tell me no)
swimming in the waves. (you're pushing me down)
hearing those last words. (cover my ears)
this ain't no lullaby, it's a death wish. (but i'm still breathing)
