Splintered Fence (Trent Michael)

Your mouth, it is an ocean But your eyes, they are a storm And though not a word's been spoken I feel I have been warned There's a cardinal in the dogwood There's a raven in the air But this ballroom is full of vultures Why would I ever meet you there? That kind of laughter brings uneasiness Like teardrops on a summer dress Like that little lie you won't confess Left a buzzin in your spine So forgive me if my head's a mess Or if my cadence lacks some confidence I'm just leanin on that splintered fence Wondrin what's on the other side So if the trumpets sound like trouble And the cellos sound like tears Then why is everybody talkin With their fingers in their ears? Because the drums are distant gunfire And the voices, shattered hearts But the harmony like honey Sweetly binds us, at the start That kind of laughter brings uneasiness Like teardrops on a summer dress Like a little lie you won't confess Left a buzzin in your spine So forgive me if my head's a mess Or if I'm just not makin any sense I'm just climbin up that splintered fence Tryin to get to the other side To the other side
