Or Else

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why do I sing my song for you When I know if I don't, I'll still leave with you Looking down at my drink, it's residue Do stains tell the truth? Where there are shadows, there is light Well, the heaviness falls like the snow in night Waking up to the quiet and blinding white Can't this be enough? The way you play gets caught in my teeth As if the six brass strings were feeding me And the notes that I sing, fruit on a tree Won't you just pick me? I get into my car to get out of the house And the radio's on as I ride it out Well the dashboard's a gong as thе wheels turn ground Doesn't that count? [Chorus] I can be crazy too Willing disaster to brеakthrough Tornado's close in the rearview Not all mirrors tell the truth Not all mirrors tell the truth [Verse 2] When the double helix gets too tight for you When you're lost in the syntax, no dawn, no dew I'm the broken glass in the sole of your shoe I'm walking me home with you The sweat drips down, there's salt in my mouth When I jump in the lake, I let it pull me down Do I have what it takes to spit myself back out? Please let me be enough [Chorus] Why do I sing out loud? As if by reaching you, I could move the clouds As if by moving clouds, I could reach myself I guess the truth has to be enough or else I guess the truth has to be enough or else
