Pennies And Paper

from The Singing Well by The Emporiums

/

lyrics

you've been hard as nails, punchin' holes in hearts
slivers and splinters, are all you've got

you've been adding your rings, thinking nothing but green
pennies and paper, are all you've got

you've been throwing your stones, into deep dark holes
wishes and whispers, are all you've got

when you wanna come home
i don't know if i can
i don't know myself anymore

your bed is a coffin
i'll die to myself
your arms are like branches
quieting my chaos
your home is a fountain
filling my empty
