Burst Apart

The Antlers Burst Apart Lyrics
1.I Don't Want Love

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

You wanna climb up the stairs,
I wanna push you back down.
But I let you inside,
So you can push me around.

If I leave before you,
And I walk out alone,
Keep your hands to yourself
When you follow me home.

I don't want love.
I don't want love.

We wake up with pounding heads,
Bruised down below.
I should have built better walls,
Or slept in my clothes.

So if I see you again,
Desperate and stoned,
Keep your prison locked up,
And I will leave my gun at home.

I don't want love.
I don't want love.


2.French Exit

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

Every time we speak, you are spitting in my mouth.
If I don't take you somewhere else, I'm gonna pull my teeth
right out.

Every time we meet, you are shrieking in my ear.
If I don't take you somewhere else, you're gonna make this sin
sincere
Come on.

Everyone I loved kept me tangled in my heart,
You'll tie that knot a bit too loose, not enough to tease apart
Come on.

Everyone I hold holds me strangled, sweet and smart.
I'm not a puppy you take home, don't bother trying to fix my
heart.


3.Parentheses

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

One broken wing,
Soaring and suffering,
Arm in a sling,
I don't owe you anything.

I'm a bad absentee,
You know when I want to leave.
So close up your knees,
and I'll close your parentheses.

I'm a bad amputee,
With no phantom memory.
So close up your knees,
and I'll close your parentheses.


4.No Widows

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

If I never get back home,
There's no garden overgrown,
No widows in the walls,
No widows left alone,

No shirts to hang or fold,
No kid out in the cold,
No widows on the walls,
No widows on the phone.

If I'm stuck out here alone,
If I'm stranded here all year,
With just nothing left at home,
No widows disappear.

If the wheels jump off the road,
There's no widows left to know,
No perfect love above,
No punishment below.

When they shake, say the wings won't break.
When they shake, say the wings won't break.

If I'm stuck out here alone,
If I'm stranded here all year,
With just nothing left at home,
No widows disappear.

If the wheels jump off the road,
There's no widows left to know,
No perfect love above,
No punishment below.

When they shake, say the wings won't break.
When they shake, say the wings won't break.


5.Rolled Together

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

Rolled together with a burning paper heart.
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.


6.Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

One bad night I'll hold the glass until the glass can hold me
down,
And one bad night I'll spill and spill until my feet begin to
drown.
One bad night I'll hear you calling me to help you not pass out.

You and I, divine but not devout,
Every night my teeth are falling out.

Try it, try it, try it,
Try it, try it, try it, try it,
Get your jaw off the floor.

Try it, try it, try it,
Try it, try it, try it, try it,
Get your jaw off the floor.

One dumb night I'll make a point to take an old verboten route,
And one dumb night I'll take you out, to the bar we've both
blacked out.
One dumb night two bad decisions don't divide to cancel out.

You and I, divorced but not devout,
Every night my teeth are falling out.

Every night my teeth are falling out.

Try it, try it, try it,
Try it, try it, try it, try it,
Get your jaw off the floor.

8.Hounds

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

So loud,
So loud,
Slow down,
Slow hound.

They want to conquer you,
Abandon you.
I want to burden you,
Belong to you.

So loud,
So loud,
Slow down,
Slow hound.

They want to think for you,
Pour drinks into you.
They want to look at you,
While I look everywhere for you.

So loud,
So loud,
Slow down,
Slow hound.

I want to sever you,
Defend against you.
I want to speak for you,
As if I know what you'll do.


9.Corsicana

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

By the time that we woke up,
We couldn't stop the sparks,
We couldn't see outside,
When the curtains fell apart.

We couldn't hear the books
When the pages curled away.
We should shut that window we both left open now.

We lost our chance to run,
Now the door's too hot to touch.
We should hold our breaths with mouths together now.


10.Putting The Dog To Sleep

Lyricist:Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci
Writer(s):Peter SilbermanMichael LernerDarby Cicci

Prove to me I'm not gonna die alone.
Put your arm around my collarbone,
And open the door.

Don't lie to me if you're putting the dog to sleep,
That pet you just couldn't keep,
And couldn't afford.

Well prove to me I'm not gonna die alone.
Unstitch that shit I've sewn,
To close up the hole that tore through my skin.

Well my trust in you is a dog with a broken leg,
Tendons too torn to beg for you to let me back in.

You said, I can't prove to you you're not gonna die alone,
But trust me to take you home,
To clean up that blood all over your paws.

You can't keep running out,
Kicking yourself off the bed,
Kicking yourself in the head,
Because you're kicking me too.

Put your trust in me,
I'm not gonna die alone.
Put your trust in me,
I'm not gonna die alone I don't think so...

13.Vcr

Writer(s):Oliver SimRomy Madley CroftJamie SmithBaria Qureshi

You, you used to have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCR with me
And talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know
You just do

When I find myself by the sea
In another's company, by the sea
When I go out to the pier
Gonna dive and have no fear

Because you, you just know
You just do

Watch things on VCR with me
And talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know
You just do

Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Rolled together with a burning paper heart.
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

Pulled together but about to burst apart,
Rolled together with a burning paper heart.

One broken wing,

I'm a bad absentee,
You know when I want to leave.
So close up your knees,
and I'll close your parentheses.

I'm a bad amputee,
With no phantom memory.
So close up your knees,
