lyrics

It’s done, it’s done, the eagle is back on the ground
It’s done, it’s done, it barely even made a sound
Soaring high
Against the odds
And tendency of engines to blow up

It’s done, it’s done, I’m all but going off the rails
It’s done, it’s done, just because someone has failed
Going out in broad daylight
To find that bolt
And screw it tight

And I’m sure that there are flaws that can outlive their design
If the plans in which they hide are held in a different light
There is no emotion that is self-contained
And my disappointment thrives on my complaints

When my pride is broken and my heart is on the fritz
I think I have some duct tape left that will do for a quick fix

It’s done, it’s done, I heard something caving in
It’s done, it’s done, it’s the ground that I have been
Standing on minutes ago
Serving as my own cameo

And my hands work well enough but my collar isn’t blue
And whenever I draw lines you will find them all askew
I am not contending I’m among the stars
But there’s metaphors that I take too far

When my pride is broken and my heart is on the fritz
I think I have some duct tape left that will do for a quick fix

Don’t we all yawn at a love song or do we sway with the chords?
Guess it’s alright
If a bit trite
Just like life has been before

But the belle that I have met is no Mississippi Queen
And the muse that gave me drive proves to be a parody
I am pretty tired of these curtain calls
It takes all I carry to not build castle walls

When my pride is broken and my heart is on the fritz
All these lines I wrote will not play a role in this
I’m just a tired poet getting lost in picking nits
I think I have some duct tape left that will do for a quick fix
