Walking on Eggshells - Fish

The blood drips from his finger

That he cut upon the broken glass from the photo frame

Her portrait that he loves, she stamped upon the floor

The piercing shards of porcelain

From dinner plates that served her rage

The fury from somewhere out of nowhere

The statement on the wall

Vitriolic barrage, the endless stream of characters

The blame game, the shaming, th acidic accusations

All they have are shattred doors, mirrors smashed

The images retained in an unbroken circle

Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells

The trigger point is here

Trapped inside the wreckage

Try to extricate himself and salvage pride

A perspective on his life, hide the suffering inside

Sentenced to her silence, his heart roars in the darkness

Aching for her contact, praying for her call

Walking on eggshells, walking on egg-shells

The trigger point is here

She knows he’ll always love her, her trust he won’t betray

Despite her bleak misgivings all his feelings still remain

The door is always open, a bed is always there

A roof to fly above her, a harbour for her fears

He’s always there for you, she’s always there for you

He could never live without her, he could never walk away

He can only hope for healing and hope for better days

He’ll replace the broken china, repair the broken frame

Count the days and blessings till she’s home again

He’s always there for you, she’s always there for you

There for you, she’s always there for you

There for you, he’s always there for you

He recognised the face, disarming smile

The veiled questions that he senses put in place to search out lies

To trick or treat him

Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells

The trigger point is here

So here they are again, confusing dark emotions

Mesmerising eyes, the dancing conversations

Here I go again writing my lines

So here I go again writing my lines

Where a word trips out of place, a careless detonation

Left here once again in the wreckage, digging out the dream

Here I am again confused with dark emotions

Here I go again, dancing conversations

Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells

Walking on eggshells, walking on eggshells

I’m always there for you

I’m always here for you
