Parade Music - Two Drinks Lyrics

Two drinks away from opening-up
With the guilt two drinks from lost
Repeating words and folding hands
Itching scratches long from lost
But you stayed nailed to beginnings
Leaving nothing to reflect
Got to thinking that the ending
Is still something to protect

Can you believe it, can you twist
I have seen you in that light
And we both know that a change of pace
Rearranged can shift our sight
But you know as well as I, I think
Changing reel can't change the scene
Insides, fickle outsides
And all the spaces in between

There's no greater good than fiction
Holding arms we've never known
But there's an asymmetry in the lessons learned
Against the scarring you have shown
But there are bones yet to be broken
And words to glue and set
Before what has the will to drag you out
Comes to why it hasn't yet

Held close against the iron bars
And the others close to town
Swallowed whole behind the holding point
In the hopes that we may drown
But not to die, that's all too sudden
More like living under waves
And with the verses all well-written
You can know the soul is saved
