Aphasia Lyrics

What look would speak

What darkened eyes would rightly weep

What flowers breath and cursive ink

Could spell this refrain and call out by name

The terrible black and blue my heart became

When did it start

These paper walls that keep apart

Our oxygen and beating hearts

Perc for the pain

Roof for the rain

Flame for the dark or liquor for the shame

Is it in our blood to clench the jaw and hide the cut

To cull the dust and lift the rug

To pretty the face

Ribbon and lace

Cover the bones hidden in our closet space

And I should've seen the signs but that's on me

I assumed that you were fine probably

We've all regrets I know, and I guess that's mine to own

I'm working on being there

With more than a broken stare

And desperate, silent prayer

I'll drop by the neighborhood

Call you with bad or good

Just like a brother, brother should
