How to Quit
by Sam Phillips

Album: A Boot and a Shoe

I was broken when you got me, with holes that would let the light through,
Red smoke and sequins, invisible floor,
Faith is running toward the sound of water, blind dancing in the footlights,
Torn-curtain talent sparks from a lucky guess,
Camera can't find me, I'm officially astray,
When no one's listening, I have so much to say.

I though I knew how to quit,
Drunk on memory, we start up,
Stockings on the rooftop, exotic innocence,
Living on air, desire and reverie,
Gravity pulls our lives down,
Holding on to change, I want to walk the deep,
Can't get free from freedom when I refuse to chose,
Walls go with me as I leave my fate to lose.
