Jawbreaker

Cut my tongue on the biggest jawbreaker I could find
I was young, licking sugar off my hands to pass the time

Feelin’ harsh
I’m sick the day before it’s Halloween
Come so far
There are pieces I could pass for make believe

What if at the center I am just more of the same?
What if at the center I am just more of the same?
Sugar and cement fill in the tunnels in my brain

Feeling soft
Red color on my lips to show the scar
When we kiss
Metallic cold, old hurt is not that far

And I was screaming
Bloodied in my fathers arms
We keep dreaming
Statues cry, we don’t know why it’s still so hard

What if at the center I am just more of the same?
What if at the center I am just more of the same?
What if at the center I am just more of the same?
(What did not hold me, could not hold me)
What if at the center I am just more of the same?
(What did not hold me, could not hold me)
What if at the center I am just more of the same?
(What did not hold me, could not hold me)
(What did not hold me, could not hold me)

Sugar and cement fill in the tunnels in my brain
