Squeezebox

I'm sorry you had to see this side of me

it's gone and replaced my face

I've seen you staring at what I've done, honey

If I am to be a black sheep,

should I pull the wool over your eyes

Leave you blind

Leave you be

the splits in my wrists only ticking off time

scratching off days in a downward climb

 

I'm sorry I kept my mouth clapped shut

I've fallen in too many trapdoors before

My heart's now a spasmic squeezebox, baby

If I am to wear a mask now

greasepaint's run off, playground isn't mine

Swinging up

Swinging down

If it's all in my head how do I get it out

Medicating frowns into childish pouts

 

I'm sorry I was so unsure

Didn't hold on tight to the best I had

I've taken things a turn for the worst, darling

If I don't say a word

I'll be safe and stuck again in square one

Walling Up

Boxing in

Yeah, I know you said we'll just be friends

But it's lonely at the top when every day is the end
