You rest like a baby in arms
And I wouldn't wanna wake you up
But if the knives of light come flying
When your open your eyes
To your daily demise
I will only
I will always try to pick you up
This is how you lose your friends
You hope I'll stick till the end
But you slide down the bannisters at night
Expecting me to fight
But I won't do it again, no
When you tested your goodbyes
I would've died inside
Instead, somehow I'm still alive
You're not sober
So I won't stay over tonight
And I know my hopeless silence will be
Carving out a void
Where you will shake your sodden nights
And then pretend that we're alright
You say 'that's not me'
But I recognise you in those other faces
And the boy
You gave away too soon, too priceless
Oh
The splinter in your eye will sell you to the sky
You know this
Remember all you read, indulging in the dread
If you would only notice
That I can't bare the burden of the weight
Of all your reminiscing hate
I can say the words again but
They lose meaning in a day, oh
The splinter in his eye will sell him to the sky
The splinter in his eye will sell him to the sky
(The splinter) in his eye will sell him to the sky
(The splinter) (In his eye)
You'll be ok
But I can't be the fix
(The splinter) (In his eye)
I can't be the
I can't be the fix of your
The fix of your daily affairs no
I can't
For I must save the garden of
I will save the garden of Eve
Farewell my slippery love
Like dancing fish in a child's hand
But once its freed, back in the brook
It'd rather be on the hook
Or out of breath
Or even, sometimes, dead
