Every dam one day breaks.

lyrics

Too Little Too late.
Every dam one day breaks.
We’re no longer the finger on the leak fix-it kids
And when the stone separates,
there’s an army of waves.
And they all end up under the bridge,

light the candles, cut the cake
happy early birthday to you dear.
monochromatic nickel grey..
raindrops falling in between the gears.

working like a waterwheel..
generating movement..through the webs.
And I think There’s something down there still..
coughing into life, a deep regret.

I know I’ve been the absentee.
But i truly planned to be there this year.
but the crevice widened in between.
happy early birthday to you dear.

the water’s restless roar.
the concrete’s slow decay..
We built this reservoir,
where bad memories form waves.

Too little Too late
every dam one day breaks..
we’re no longer the finger on the leak fix it kids.
when the stone separates,
there’s an army of waves.
and they all end up under the bridge.

Rummaging through memories
searching for something to hold onto
stillframes slipping from my mind.
losing them.. like I lost you.

I can’t tell if I’m drowning, if I’m sleeping
if I’m floating, if I’m dead.
It all adds up to feeling cold. feeling nothing.
don’t say it’s in my head..

you said it’s not love that you’re losing
not that either of us know just what that is.
Although if it was,
it’d feel something like this.

the water’s restless roar.
the concrete’s slow decay.
we filled this reservoir
every time we prayed for rain..

The water’s restless roar,
The concrete’s slow decay.
We built this resevoir
where bad memories form waves.

Happy birthday, happy birthday, I love you, baby.
happy birthday happy birthday. I miss you greatly.

Too little too late.
Every dam one day breaks.
