Chipping Away (original song)

Violet Lea of Poko Lambro plays an original song, Chipping Away.

Hold in the quiet, unfolding again
searching for answers with white, powdered hands
she's on the line and you cover the mouth
I'm sitting alone in this empty white house
the socks are all dirty, the windows are closed
the milk in the fridge is a hundred days old
and all of our pictures are smiling, it seems...
you're chipping away at the pieces of me

Here comes the night and the telephone rings
it's the only dynamic that makes me believe
that there's reason for walking, and reason to breath
for the first time in four years I'm folding the sheets
and I'd dial your number but dammit the words
get twisted and choked and rough-handedly heard
so I'm writing this letter, the delicate truth...
I'm chipping away at the pieces of you

Mindlessly zipping my suitcases closed
ignoring the curtains, they're open, exposing
the beer bottle caps and the empty blue cups
as I make my way down to the local bus station
and where am I going, a quarter till three?
with this man by the window who's smiling at me?
I watch the lights blur with the tilt of the bus...
we're chipping away at the pieces of us
