lyrics

Half of It

tear this apart
scratching around in the dark
you’ll find a ruptured heart
with punctured skin and bones

through five windows
I’ve been peering in
throughout your soul
hear touch taste smell see all you want
never can be gathered
every bit of what’s been scattered here
through a crystal clear view
you’d still have your work cut out for you

(refrain)
something seems to be missing
that’s half of it
mix my questions with your questions
do you plan to fill me in

you’re puzzling to my peace of mind
with your excuses piled up so high
honestly why try to plot this any thicker
we’re treading through thick and thin
trying to even out these burdens
are you certain you heard silent screaming
help me help me out
you can’t complete me
but you can still reach me now
I’m still falling

(refrain)

spill it egghead
you know full well
breaking out of your shell
all the kings horses and all the kings men
couldn’t put humpty together again
so they talk talk more talk
as off the wall another one falls
here lies my head in your hands

(refrain)

but you don't answer
when you don’t answer
why
