Dashboard Confessional - Turpentine Chaser lyrics

This paint has been tasting of lead

And their chips will fall as they may

But it's not just my finish that is peeling

And 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

So our words will be heard again

But all I want are vows of silence now

This turpentine chaser's got kick

And the rag that it's soaked in is rich

The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning

And as soon as I'm done I am gone

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

So our words will be heard again

But all I want are vows of silence now

The frightening facts

We've been facing our backs

For so long now

Are begging for eyes

To bear witness to lies

And 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

Broken homes
