You always say you know what’s best
But you know I don’t want to hear it.
Let’s take the night to sleep this off,
And talk about it in the morning.
Such a lovely sentiment to
Start my day remembering
All the supid things that you put me through
But I’ll watch you wash this all away!
(Like the writing on the walls)
Don’t you start me on the subtleties,
That lately I’ve been noticing.
(The contradicting attitudes,)
(The smile of a cheat!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away again,
A small reminder of the way it’s been.
You’ve been throwing bricks,
While I’ve been busy saving them.
I took all of your hits,
(And rebuilt my defenses.)
I need to learn how to look after myself.
(Before I take another risk on you!)
What did you expect from me,
I won’t come crawling back anymore.
This pleading has hurt my knees.
You’re tearing out my seams again,
Faster than I can restitch myself.
Slowly unravelling,
No more threading the needle
With a through-line of self doubt.
Do I have a say in this?
Do I have the strength to say this to your face?
That lovely sentiment is getting in the way.
(The illusion that it’s all okay,)
(The illusion that it’s all okay,)
Call it omnidirectional,
Call it something to go viral.
It won’t matter to me,
‘Cause everyone’s already laughing.
Like being in a maze of mirrors,
Trying to make things clearer,
But at every turn,
Being forced to watch yourself fail.
You’re tearing out my seams again
You’re tearing out my seams again,
Faster than I can restitch myself.
Slowly unravelling,
No more threading the needle
These last second sutures don’t work anymore,
These last second sutures don’t work anymore.
I’ll stitch myself up one more time,
I’ll stitch myself up one more time!
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
I’ll watch you wash this all away,
(I’ll watch you wash this all away again!)
Like the writing on the walls!
(Like the writing on the walls!)
