DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL lyrics : "Turpentine Chaser"

This paint has been tasting of lead
& their chips will fall as they may,
but it's not just my finish that is peeling,

& it is not alone fleeing these walls.

Well sooner of later this cold

it's gonna break
so our hands will be warm again,
but all I want is not to need you now.

And sooner or later this code
it's gonna break
& our words will be heard again,

but all I want are vows of silence now.

This turpentine chaser's got kick

& the rag that it's soaked in is rich.
The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning
& as soon as I'm done I am gone.


The frightening facts
we've been facing our backs

for so long now
are begging for eyes
to bear witness to lies

& indifference.

Now we're saying aloud

the things we've declared in our silence.
The new coats of paint will not reaquaint
broken hearts to broken homes.
