歌词
Open the curtains
Singing birds tell me "Tear the buildings down"
You felt blessed to receive their pleasant sound
Things that break
Make you cringe inside yourself
There's a child counting stars in their time-out of their day
In the corners of their frame they're encased
In the losing of a grain of themselves
Pushed against the ebb and flow
Wave good-bye and watch it go
To disarm predatory gaze
That's sucking dry and never satiated
You've been misused
Been rewired
You're short-circuiting now
Just remember when you'd call me to come
Take a deep breath and then jump
So fragile are bodies
So concave, work in self-destructive ways
You shot from the hip and missed
Detaching from all of this
In physical pictures you remain
Spiral 'round yourself in figure-eight
I recoil at every new beginning
I searched for a way out
Don't we all?
An existentialist recall:
Turn in all, all dichotomies and truths that I gave
I felt wrong in many ways
It didn't heal
It just got harder everyday to be still
To be passing through the throes
In a daze
Feeling heavy
Feeling cold in my skin
In my hand-me-downs
I'm wearing everything thin
And the pills that you gave didn't do anything
I just slept for years on end
Well so if I call
Should I beg?
'Cause I'm desperate here
A couple steps from the edge
I can't seem to burn bright enough
I'm cold and I'm left alone
We're all alone
Grab a hold
I know I said to not
What the fuck do I know?
I had a chance to construct something beautiful and I choked
I choked
I choked
I choked!
