This house a broken table too You lean I wait it carries you Once in a while the weight will hold Once in a while it slips it folds We bend we fall Patched together not at all We break we stay Just enough to fade away Distance longer than the room I tried the door it stayed the same I spoke but nothing ever came Walls are heavy silence deep Pills dissolve behind his eyes Once in a while the night is kind Once in a while I lose the line We bend we fall Just enough to stay at all We break we stay Just enough to fade away A leg removed a nail a seam It bore the weight it lost the dream A family bent the way we are It held the weight but never whole A fragile soul We bend we fall Patched together not at all. We break we stay Just enough to fade away Broken table Still I stay Broken table Fades away We bend we fall We break we stay Patched together Enough to fade away — ©2025 Cannonfall (ASCAP) & Quiet Noise (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved.
