Broken Yolk in Western Sky
Benjamin Gibbard

Broken yolk in western sky

My stomach turned, my mouth went dry

I knew I'd never known fear before

I pressed my palms into the seat

Took one last look at you next to me

I kicked open the sliding door

And I threw myself out on the road

Torn flesh and broken bones

And on the shoulder's patchy grass

I faded into your past


I know it was a cowardly thing to do

And that an explanation is not an excuse

I just want you to understand

That love is only a type of greed

Of equal portions, want and need

And you cannot divorce the two



And I could not sleep at all

With all the rumble strip close calls

In the gravel and scattered trash

I faded into your past


When you think twice

You arrive at the same conclusion

It's bad advice

Only if you use it


Broken yolk in western sky

My stomach turned, my mouth went dry
