lyrics

I lied to you again today.
I said that I was happy.
The moves we make are set out,
With the battle lines in place.
I trusted you - support me.
These aren't my moves, you said.
Peacemaker, I dart between two sides,
Pulling you apart as you close in.
Crushed, I scream for air.
One day something's got to give.
Betrayal hurts like hell
But worse, far worse, is the constant thinking back to the things we always planned to do
Now broken in pieces.
We're so different, you and I,
yet we want the same thing.
I'll fight you for it.

It was a game I used to play.
A rack full of odd-shaped holes and a noisy clockwork spring.
Leave it too long and it snapped
Throwing plastic cubes in the air,
An abstract mess on the carpet.
Now the shapes I hammer in are four-dimensional,
Much harder to fit.
Corners shift at random and I flail madly at the edges.
Always, always a fleeting moment too late.
