Broken Tabs

I swallowed my rings in my sleep

And dreamed of spitting out my teeth

While leaves danced on their branches

To some strange time

And intrigue held hands with disgust

The world turned and I woke up

To one more city's broken-hearted skyline

Skyline

So save me a place in the lines of the water

I found the bridge right on time but I was

On the other side

It knew that I had been waiting forever

There was a song in my head and it was

Ruining my life

I saw you from the balcony

Sinking like a symphony

As cars were crashing in my memory

Two at a time

I held my breath to hear you speak

The words made water of my knees

But still your voice was softer than the sunshine

Sunshine

You know you can laugh cos your life is forever

There was a song in the sky it was trying

To tell you what to do

So fire your guns and beg forgiveness

Tell everyone the curse is lifted

On to new curses, on to new regrets

On to the next ?hispanic? fiction

On to the next guitar affliction

Whichever curse has missed us ?hasn't yet?

As flowers flung from wedding scenes

Filled up the floor beneath my feet

I started to believe the trifling timeline

Regret held hands with the rush

Of several civilizations

The only option left to us was to

Rise
