Gunpowder: A Ballet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a graceful dance above me From the sun reflecting in Off the cars that pass below Each with their own story within And the dance moves they remind me Of the times that I've walked in To a room and left with nothing Except the fear to walk back in [Pre-Chorus] So I'll say safe at my vantage On occasion I'll peer in You'll grow up out of the corner Of my eyes right next to him You'll need help you'll need attention You're a captivated whim But I'm a coward prone to quitting I just make sure never to begin [Chorus] The gunpowder between my teeth Lets me know that I've come clean It should be easy to say goodbye Since you won't be looking at me [Verse 2] I can see you through the window But the cracks keep you a blur There's a victim in this story I wish to god that it was her Though I know I've your recognition It's of its nature I'm not sure If I could ever push this question I'd shut my ears for the answer [Pre-Chorus] So I'll say safe at my vantage On occasion I'll peer in You'll grow up out of the corner Of my eyes right next to him You'll need help you'll need attention You're a captivated whim But I'm a coward prone to quitting I just make sure never to begin [Chorus] The gunpowder between my teeth Lets me know that I've come clean It should be easy to say goodbye Since you won't be looking at me [Bridge] Letting you go Is scary 'cause sadly it doesn't hurt Letting you know I'm weary 'cause I'm not sure it'll hurt [Chorus] The gunpowder between my teeth Lets me know that I've come clean It should be easy to say goodbye Since you won't be looking at me The gunpowder between my teeth Lets me know that I've come clean It should be easy to say goodbye Since you won't be looking at me
