Destroy Me - Once and Future Band

Ticking off the days of the calendar

Watching them fall away

In a neat little pile on the kitchen shelf

next to the microwave

you walk in and I look away

hoping to disappear

if I meet yr eyes then it multiplies

til' yr kindness draws me near

skipping ahead in a mystery

to know how the deed was done

I was shocked to see when the killer went free

the detective ate his gun

there was blood on the wall

and a curtain call

as I planned my escape

like a diamond shines in the darkest mine

the spotlight found my face

destroy me

tin toy me

or so they say

one time he

let tiny dreams slip away

ticking off the days of the calendar

watching the numbers fade

and they blow around the room

like a burst balloon still trying to fly away

there’s a hole in the sky where you go when you die

I hear good things happen there

we could leave today

but I forgot the way

it was written on the air

destroy me

tin toy me

or so they say

one time he

let tiny dreams slip away
