Fetch The Broom

Quick, fetch the broom! I'm beginning to fall apart.
I fear I might end up everywhere.
It's starting. Yes, I think it's about to start
So please fetch the broom from somewhere.
And while I'm waiting for that first piece to fall
I bite my lip and hope it won't shatter
I know you know it's not like me at all
But sometimes I'm porcelain inside here
I meant it when I said we'd better find the dustpan
I'm tumbling down piece by piece
My shoulder blades are running so very fast away
They're jumping ship. They know it's hopeless.
And soon all of me will be lying there
Down on the hardwood
But I don't want anyone to see
So please fetch the broom if you could.

Drink Up

No fairytale fantasy
No pillowcase veil for me
No starry eyes
No pale moonlight
Just a slow romantic romanticizing you
Just a shallow dreamer drowning in you.
We're captive in the wood
It's dark and haunted and filled with wolves
We call them each by name
They come to us safe and tame
Pull me out
Put me out
Pull me out
One drink will do me in.
Drink up.

Airborne

Do you want to go for a ride?
Hop in the front seat and I'll drive.
I'll really step on the gas
So if we hit a pothole we won't just crash,
We'll go soaring through the air,
Maybe spin a few times,
But haven't you always wanted to be airborne?
Do you want to go for a swim?
The water's freezing but let's jump in.
They'll find us up to our ears
Stiff from the cold but shaking with fear.
They'll send a helicopter team -
One by one pull our bodies out of that icy stream
We'll go soaring through the air,
Maybe spin a few times,
But haven't you always wanted to be airborne?
Haven't you always wanted to be airborne?
Do you want to go for a ride?
Hop in the front seat and I'll gladly drive.

Fly Her And Keep Her

I'll give you a kite
You can fly her, but keep her
Red and white
Pull her string tighter
She'll slip away
Promise you'll keep her
A muted gray
The sky around her turns silver
We watch as love dies.
Does only foolish love die?
You're miles below
And she's begging you keep her
But take her slow
You're paralyzed by her
For if a kite, you can fly her and keep her
But if a bird, then mourn.
You're going to lose her.
We watch as love dies.
Does only foolish love die?
We watch as dreams die.
Do only foolish dreams die?
