From the Mouth of an Injured Head

hold me against the floor

Find something to bind my hands

'cause I don't know where I have been

And I don't know what I have seen

But the puzzle is carved into me

And I know that I miss you

But I don't even know your name

Oh, when you're near me I feel OK

Yeah, when you're near me I'm not ashamed

And the holes in my head they explain

In my sleep I can hear a voice

A call, a withering echo

And it sings, it sings all-knowing words

But ones I can't understand

Like running water slipping through my fingers

When I'm down near the window

I feel your hands as you bind my head

I'm watching birds through the open shades

I hear you wonder if I'm OK

Or if the cracks are too deep in my brain

In my dreams I can hear a voice

A call, a withering echo

And it sings, it sings all-knowing words

But ones I can't understand

Here it goes again...

But there's something missing'

There's something lost in my head

Could you help me fix it?

Could you please come stitch me up?

'cause I don't know how

Yeah, I don't know how

The answers are buried in me

And I know that I miss you

But I don't even know your name
