lyrics

she’s the kind to find a fractured mind and break it open
pick apart the pieces ‘til your peace of mind is broken
and fix the strings until her whim controls your every motion
she’ll be your downfall

don’t you disbelieve there’s more than what she lets you see there
stored up old performances that force you to believe her
broken stories formed to seal the door to your defeat, boy
she’ll be your downfall

boy, hold on - she’ll take you out
boy, hold on - she’ll break you down
boy, hold on - she’ll rip your heart out
you don’t know

she’ll just hold her cards until you’re certain you can call it
but a flicker from her eyes and now your confidence is stalling
boy, now weren’t you told you can’t just fold now that you’re all in
she’ll be your downfall

boy, hold on - she’ll take you out
boy, hold on - she’ll break you down
boy, hold on - she’ll rip your heart out
you don’t know

Ian Galipeau Keene, New Hampshire

I write songs about ideas and characters I find interesting. I've always been fascinated by the grey areas in life, and writing music is one of the best ways I've found to explore the nuances.
