Fractures
I Will I Swear Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was drinking salt water but than
You came along
You sent us on

I was reading blank pages but again
You came along
You sent us on

You dont know me, but who knows
If I don't take a mess then I take
an empty sheet and that makes me
blank aswell
so I'll just be
fractured silence - constantly
easy
easy
easy

I was reading blank pages but again
You came along
You sent us on

I was drinking salt water but again
You came along
You sent us on

You dont know me, but who knows,
If i don't take a mess then I take
an empty sheet and that makes me
