11.Turpentine Chaser
This paint has been tasting of lead and their chips will fall as
they may, but it is not just my finish that is peeling, and it
is not alone fleeing these walls.
Well sooner or later this cold its going to break, so our hands
will be warm again, but all I want is not to need you now.
And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will
be heard again, but all I want are vows of silence now.
This turpentine chaser's got kick and the rag that its soaked in
is rich.
The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning and as soon as I'm done I
am gone.Well sooner or later this cold its going to break, so
our hands will be warm again, but all I want is not to need you
now.
And sooner or later this code its gonna break and our words will
be heard again, but all I want are vows of silence now.
The frightening facts we've been facing our backs to for so long
now are begging for eyes to bear witness to lies and
indifference.
Now we're saying aloud the things we've declared in our silence.
That new coats of paint will not reacquaint broken hearts to
broken homes.
