Ice Museum

Music and lyrics by Sam Quinn

i know that i want you
twice as many reasons than i want to
you broke me open like a piggybank
because you had to
please understand i could never hate you

the sun’s coming up in the mirror
i could tell you what i’m thinking, but i won’t
you are a tragedy
i’m scared to death of familiar places
one more face in the crowd
that i know, will never talk to me

anything that held this together
doesn’t work anymore
making a distraction
making my way to the door

the clock inside is the speed of sound
sometimes i find places where you go
i know it tears at you
i painted myself the ice museum
they don’t know half those things that i know
this is all a joke to you

take it all apart, put it all back
throw it away
no one who came here to hurt you
came here to stay

i know that i want you
twice as many reasons than i want to
you broke me open like a piggybank
because you had to
please understand i could never hate you

another crash landing from a fever dream
is one of my favourite parts of being alone
nobody knows
you are keeping this around so that you can sleep
one more lie you believe, that i don’t
you are a part of me

nobody is waiting
no, nobody is waiting, at home
write me a letter and send it where i never go

i know that i want you
twice as many reasons than i want to
you broke me open like a piggybank
because you had to
please understand i could never hate you
