Dismantled, Broken, Golden

i had that dream again

the one where everything was amazing

and it all worked like it should

then I woke up again

and everything was a terrible mess

and it all fell apart if it could

if I could 

I'd hang up these vocal chords for good

and let the calluses on my fingers heal 

all the damage they've withstood

Here's another song to throw away

wash it down the drain

you're too busy to listen

with all your new friends

and all the better sounds they make

Will you even know it's for you?

If I didn't ever tell 

I'd like to think you'd somehow know

but I'm guessing the buzzing is much too strong for good

Did you even want another string of words

held together by this old guitar?

You don't have the time to answer these marks

so I'm doubting you'll even care

if I could 

I'd hang up these vocal chords for good

and let the calluses in my fingers heal 

all the damage they've withstood

If I could

I'd take you for you for good

and let the calluses on our hearts heal

all the damages they've withstood

but you won't let me

no you won't let me

no you won't let me, let me in

you won't let me

you won't let me

you won't let me let me in

If I could

I'd hang up these vocal chords for good

and let the calluses on my fingers heal

all the damage they've withstood

If I could

I'd take you for you for good

and let the calluses on our hearts heal

all the damages they've withstood

But I can't

until I sing the words so good

that it forever heals all the damage

you've gone through

I can't 

because you won't let me love you

until I get the lines down good

and until then, I know

Oh, I know,

that you won't let me in
