Sideways

Perfect circle burning purple, sunset on the red ladder

And an obvious hiding spot

Carve a smile, juvenile attempt at an apology

Can't be sincere, through tensing teeth

I can't say what I mean

So I let it out sideways

And if I could say what I mean

I'd still let it out sideways

Lips are zippered

I'm no songbird, despite what good people think

Some secrets are a vital thing

'Cause who's to say that it is wrong

To catch a knife as it falls

And I can't say what I mean

So I let it out sideways

And if I could say what I mean

I'd still let it out sideways
