Parentheses

From Burst Apart (Deluxe Version)2011

Written by Peter Silberman

Produced by The Antlers

Lyrics

Parentheses

One broken wing, Soaring and suffering, Arm in a sling, I don't owe you anything. I'm a bad absentee, You know when I want to leave. So close up your knees, and I'll close your parentheses. I'm a bad amputee, With no phantom memory. So close up your knees, and I'll close your parentheses.
