Roughcast - Nieves

You always say what you’re thinking

With not a thought spared for tact

And I know how people change

But don’t you dare change that

You put an arm round our shoulders

Though your own weighed you down

A child of neglect

You grew into a saint for this house

And the tiny stones

Embedded in our walls won’t see out time

No one by one, they’ll loose and fall

But that won’t change what we shared inside

You are first to play it down

But you’re the centre we all find

No we can’t move whithout you precious spine

So we barricade ourselves inside

Because that’s what you do when things turn shite

And I know it could be worse

But I don’t need to hear it a thousand times

I know that it’s well you mean

But don’t cross the room to be heard, to be seen

Say anything other than I’m sorry and suprise me at least

And the tiny stones

Embedded in our walls won’t see out time

No one by one, they’ll loose and fall

But that won’t change what we shared inside

You are first to play it down

But you’re the centre we all find

No we can’t move whithout you precious spine

Those pills you take

They are sucking the life from you

That’s not your coloring

It’s not a palour we recognise

But enough in time will push the ill aside

Rewind, rewind to how simple our life was

And the tiny stones

Embedded in our walls won’t see out time

No one by one, they’ll loose and fall

But that won’t change what we shared inside

You are first to play it down

But you’re the centre we all find

No we can’t move whithout you precious spine.
