Prop me up And keep just one hand talking While the other slips underneath Steals inches from me All the lights Seem to dim on command Lifting oxygen from eyelids Calm yourself Deep breaths Quarter rest Fill the lungs up in your chest Careful not to strain The sound waves you'll save Just might be that Of your own voice breaking Sounding out the words Slipping over teeth and out through tongue Slip down White knuckle the chair Bring your eyes back to earth Or whichever one comes first Don't leave yourself Hanging back Right now Feels as if it never happened Why is my face all red? Why are my clothes all wet? All the attractions All the rejection And I still feel dumb Blink me in Or blink me out You got such a great disguise You hide yourself On the inside Clinging to the side of my mind Where they'll never look to find you Never look to see Just what's inside of me Running out towards the giant lime light streat light Bending your knees, just to see Seaching, searching Can you hear me when I say these things? 'Cause you act like that's what to ignore Or stay hidden underneath or out of reach Like your bright blue eyes talking in and out Or like katherine grazing your lips Katherine grazing your lips Just shut up and kiss me Slip down White knuckle the chair Bring your eyes back to earth Or whichever one comes first Don't leave yourself Hanging back Right now Feels as if it never happened Why is my face all red? Why are my clothes all wet? All the attractions All the rejection And I still feel dumb Running out east of here Quoting non but fools Quoting out every breath Seeping in from somwhere East of here East of everywhere The silence is unbareable We hold our breath and sink our ships
