Sideways

Perfect circle burning purple
Sunset on a red ladder
In 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

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
