Walking on Eggshells Songtext
von Fish

The blood drips from his finger
That he cut upon the broken glass
From the photo frame
The portrait that he loves
She stamped upon the floor
The piercing shards of porcelain
From dinner plates that serve the rage
The fury from somewhere out of nowhere

The statements on the wall
Vitriolic barrage
The endless stream of characters
The blaming game, the shaming
The acidic accusations
All behind the shattered doors
And mirrors smashed
The images retained
In an unbroken circle

Walking on eggshells
Walking on eggshells


The trigger point is here

Trapped inside the wreckage
Trying 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 eggshells

The trigger point is here


She knows he′ll always love her
A 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

There for you
She′s always there for you
There for you
He's always there for you

The doorbell and a wrong call
He teeters on the edge
Unprepared for whatever is in store
Whoever is before him
He′ll recognise the face
The zombie smile
The few questions
That he senses couldn't please
The search of lies
Each word a 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

Blinding my lights
Here I go again

Blinding my lights
When a word drifts out of place
A careless detonation
That left him once again
In the wreckage
Digging out the dream
Here I am again
Confused with dark emotions
Here I stand 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
