lyrics

Are you done? You seem done
You couldn't further disengage
Your life's a book outside your language
You fake it through each page
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

When you think, do you think
that the paintings in your cave
are the instincts you're ignoring
while pretending to be brave?
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

Is the spite of my fight
like a hammer on a whale?
You could hear a small explosion
3 floors up in Avondale
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

If I've gotta die,
this is how I die:
biking on the street I grew up on
I hit a stray lip of a sidewalk block
and I launch, I launch away

If you're gonna break down,
this is how you'll break down:
burning your arm in the oven
You'll scream, backing into a wall,
you'll scream, then cry into your dossier

Wave a wand by the pond
at my former boulevard
I see algae just like tea leaves
and I see what's in my cards
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

Dollop this, swallow that
Let the ice cream hit my tongue
You say it's no fun to sit around
You don't know what's fun
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

There are friends, former friends
now all sprint gold medalists
When they talk, their lips are curling
just like ropes that pull up wrists
Someone has to fall apart
Someone has to fall apart

I'll record every song
before they cross into too old
so in case I can't be found again,
the damage is controlled
Someone has to fall apart
