Lyrics

your words all mangled and broken
you don’t really make sense
stop motion sentences
that hang in the air unvoiced incomplete
i piece them together like a crossword puzzle
starting at the edges trying to get to the core

a patchwork of guesswork to make it complete
a patchwork of guesswork to fill in the blanks
a patchwork of guesswork fraying at the seams
a patchwork of guesswork let’s face it a bloody mess

a bit of a sudden twist, oh
such suspicious suspense
pauses announcing a pause
too good to be true you have got to be kidding
left here in limbo till hell freezes over
all i asked of you was not to string me along

a patchwork of guesswork to make it complete
a patchwork of guesswork a stab in the dark
a patchwork of guesswork snarling at the snarl
a patchwork of guesswork unpause or cut me loose

is this too much to ask
can’t be too much to ask
is this too much to ask
shouldn’t be too much to ask
