Broken Porch Screen

[Verse 1] I kicked the door with my boot It swung on one bad hinge The hall smelled like rain and dust And that old kind of sting Your picture’s face-down on the shelf Cracked frame, chipped black edge I laughed at the mess I made Then I stood there instead [Pre-Chorus] I’m sick of running in circles Sick of swallowing truth If this place is a cage Then baby, so are you [Chorus] Break me wide I won’t fold Cut me loose I’m hard to hold Scream my name Then let it go Break me wide I won’t fold [Verse 2] Your voice still hangs in the walls Like smoke in a cheap bar coat I tried to burn it out But it lives in my throat The sink keeps leaking all night Tap-tap like a warning drum I patched up every weak spot Now look what I’ve become [Pre-Chorus] I’m sick of running in circles Sick of swallowing truth If this place is a cage Then baby, so are you [Chorus] Break me wide I won’t fold Cut me loose I’m hard to hold Scream my name Then let it go Break me wide I won’t fold [Bridge] [Half-time] I wore your blame like a chain Till it dug to the bone Now I’m ripping through the seams I’m coming back on my own The floor shakes under my boots When I turn and I break through One more hit, one more breath And I’m done with you [Chorus] Break me wide I won’t fold Cut me loose I’m hard to hold Scream my name Then let it go Break me wide I won’t fold
