All the shells of eggs
Breaking beneath my feet
How insensitive
That I failed to acknowledge your intolerance
While I was trying my best to
Hide my weaknesses from you
I failed and you left me soon as you had learned the truth
Won't you calm down?
Haven't you said enough?
For the first time, I can shut my eyes and feel at
Peace will, find you yet again
For the last time, I will send you off with my love
Quarter-crisis
Not even half-way there but you're giving up
Everything you hold so
Close to your heart
Claim to be trembling yet you're standing still
In a pool of tears you conjured on a whim
Learned my weaknesses from you
Saving such a dumpster fire, a meaningless pursuit
Won't you calm down?
Haven't you said enough?
For the first time, I can shut my eyes and feel at
Peace will, find you yet again
For the last time, I will send you off with my love
With every word you speak, just make it possible
For empty words and empty songs, enough to move your life along
And if you're ever feeling doubt refer to the manual
And be the first to get in line, refer to scripture every time
And if you're ever feeling down, just make it possible
For empty words and empty songs, enough to move your life along
Won't you calm down?
