The horse with the wings never turned up for the party
And I wonder how long til he comes looking for me
So I wait in the room by the river and I watch the world go by
And I hear a girl cry and I notice the sound it comes from my own mouth
And I hear your words "What have I done now? What have I done now?"
I look to the wall and you look to the hallway
And you say, "I'm sorry for whatever it is,"
And I feel myself groan cause I know
I've lived alone with you here for years now
And the scratching of the metal as you're putting on the kettle
Makes my skin crawl and I feel small,
And the birds they slip through the cracks in the gla**
And there's blood on the floor
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
Don't talk to me like I'm a shell you found on the beach
And you put to your ear and you hear how clear I sound,
And you say, "Sing me a song,"
like I've nothing better to do than sing songs for you
And you hang me on the wall so I'm taller than before
And I feel like I might fall but I don't
I hang there quietly watching the life we lead
Like it's a prize I could never win
A sea I could never swim
When will this day break?
When will my heart ache?
When will this day break?
When will I find my place?
