TOUCHÉ AMORÉ LYRICS

1. Smoke Signals

In a desperate search for words
I am given a chance to breathe
It's the calm before the storm
It's my reason for everything
I'm sharpening a pencil on my writers block
To use when the words stop
I'll cut loose the cords that cut into me
To grow some thicker skin and shed insecurity
From outside I hear the echo of those empty words
I'm setting fire to that place I've built for my concerns
I'm not about to act surprised by actions when I'm desperate
If you fuck with a wounded animal you deserve to get bit

2. Hideaways

Then came the sound of a perfect way out
Before the walls get to close and the ceiling falls down
I'll find excuses for my actions because I know better
And rob myself of joy, always and forever
The only way to calm my nerves so I can begin again
Is to close my door and listen close at 45rpm
And with a breath I say take me home
And when it ends I am left alone
I walk with both arms to my side
But in my mind they're both spread wide
I'm not looking for a warm embrace
I'm really asking why?
With both arms open, hands to fingers
My eyes are open but the truth still lingers
You can't expect to understand love
When you admire lonely singers
