The only thing I ever made in my life was a fist

The only thing that ever proved that I exist

Broken glass looks best when the sun's goin down

Take it from me, I'm broken too

And there's lots of us around



Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors



I've been alone, I've been together, I'd been lost

Making my decisions, with the coins that I toss

The slower they walk, you know the harder it gets

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regrets



Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors



Enjoying myself has just been an afterthought

I never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taught

If I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my head

But I never could fill the word that I said



Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor

Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door

Like the time I fell in love into someone else

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors

Slamming of doors doors doors
