Breaking The Quiet

Shame For Days

Why don’t you do us all a favor

And not unload on us that way 

As you tell us all that’s happened

I gotta say it’s hard to take

And I’ve got shame for days

Now you’ve lost more than you bargained for

You think you’re losing your last friend

And if for us there is no future

Wish you’d cut us loose in the end

And I’ve got shame for days

Driven to fits with what that means

And i’ve had shameful days

Heavy is the anchor but the water’s deep

Surface tension (Parts 1 and 2)

w/ Steve Fitzpatrick (lyrics and vocals on part 1)

Friction breaks the surface tension

The bubble pops and now that you mention it

The opinions you hold don’t mean much to me now

But you scrape on through my defenses anyhow

The pull towards you gets weaker  the farther you get

While the rule is known the cause is anyone’s guess

But We’re locked in now, a promise we keep

But you disappoint me- More than you know

The Fix That Broke The Quiet

What does it require

To fix that broken quiet

We keep our secrets to ourselves 

Like a plan that we conspire 

What decides what becomes 

Sadder than most and angrier than some

I guess  I’m one or both of those

These days

Whatever you suggest

Since You seem so self assured 

And I’m still waiting for permission to just breathe

my opinions didn’t matter much 

A truth that cuts and a war I fought

But now I know I’m ready to concede

What does it require 

To fix that broken quiet

And ask ourselves 

what this mess really means

For M

Who would have figured on you and me

Look at us now

I know every inch of you. Inside and out.

I like to tell the story of how we met

The year before

I was never sure that you noticed me

I noticed you

Who would have figured on you and me

Look at us now

I know every inch of you. Inside and out.

The push and the pull and the circumstance.

The leap and the faith

Opposite sides of this ocean where

One move brings the next

And look at us now.
