through my tears (a.k.a. message sent)

neutral milk hotel

watch the wind blow your cigarette smoke

through my window and out to the sky

this message sent

drilled into your heart

but now the ink will fade

before the night is through my dear

where were you when the cracks were forming

where were you when it all caved in

you were sleeping safe that morning

holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin

and fade away

all alone - another twisted moment's gone

that will never pass this way again

and through it all i thought there'd be some shred of hope

but faith i've found will do you in

and all the words that build into

a bridge of love between me and you

will stumble

crack and fail to fly

and now my only one

where have you gone

are you another heart that i must sing goodbye my dear

where were you when the cracks were forming

where were you when it all caved in

you were sleeping safe that morning

holding insecurities that burrowed underneath your skin

and fade away
