Car Won't Start

Paper trails broken hearts Scattered around these engine parts Turn the pages Chapters end And I kept it in my pocket Never to show it These crumpled remains Weighted reminders Turn the key, systems fail My knuckles pale Still no spark Car won't start Photographs and knick knacks Wading through memories And what I've done Thickens the mud Places, places all the same Blurred in this mental game Of hide and seek The secrets we keep Turn the key, systems fail My knuckles pale Still no spark Car won't start Problems persist Mechanics can't fix What's gone wrong I still hold on So they crush and throw it away I find new pieces Everyday Losing my reasons Turn the key, systems fail My knuckles pale Still no spark Car won't start Holding the keys To a car that wouldn't start Now just something That fell a part
