歌词
Open the curtains
Singing birds tell me
"Tear the buildings down."
You felt blessed
To receive their pleasant sound
Of 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 are encased
In the losing of a grain
Of themselves
Pushed against the ebb and flow
Wave good-bye and watch it go
Well show me the honest, proper way
To disarm predatory gaze
Sucking dry
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
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?
Existentialist recall
Turn in all dichotomies and
Truths
that I gave
I felt wrong in many ways
Didn't heal
Just got harder every day
To be still
To be passing
Through the throes
In a daze
Feeling heavy
Feeling cold in my skin
In my hand-me-downs
Wearing everything thin
And the pills
That you gave didn't do anything
I just slept for years on end
