You've been living a while in the front of my skull, making orders
You've been writing me rules, shrinking maps and redrawing borders
I've been repeating your speeches, but the audience just doesn't follow
Because I'm leaving out words, punctuations, and it sounds pretty hollow

I've been living in bed because now you tell me to sleep
I've been hiding my voice and my face and you decide when I eat

By the time that we woke up,
We couldn’t stop the sparks,
We couldn’t see outside,
When the curtains fell apart.

We couldn’t hear the books
When the pages curled away.
We should shut that window we both left open now.

Bathe in the dark for me
Wait 'til you hear my feet

Through and through
They want to walk all over you
Gone where they can't follow

you wanna climb up the stairs
i wanna push you back down
but I let you inside
so you can push me around

if I leave before you
and I walk out alone
keep your hands to yourself

Waking up… I’m not awake.
The planet drowns in a hundred days,
Dissolving into a million pieces in a billion places.

A million pieces in a billion places.
A million pieces in a billion places.

Slow it down…

In a nightmare, I am falling from the ceiling into bed beside you
You're asleep, I'm screaming, shoving you to try to wake you up
And like before, you've got no interest in the life you live when you're awake
Your dreams still follow storylines, like fictions you would make

So I lie down against your back, until we're both back in the hospital
But now it's not a cancer ward, we're sleeping in the morgue
Men and women in blue and white, they are singing all around you

One bad night I'll hold the glass until the glass can hold me down,
And one bad night I'll spill and spill until my feet begin to drown.
One bad night I'll hear you calling me to help you not pass out.

You and I, divine but not devout,
Every night my teeth are falling out.

One dumb night I'll make a point to take an old verboten route,

Every time we speak, you are spitting in my mouth.
If I don't take you somewhere else, I'm gonna pull my teeth right out.

Every time we meet, you are shrieking in my ear.
If I don't take you somewhere else, you're gonna make this insincere…
Come on.

Everyone I loved kept me tangled in my heart,

So loud,
So loud,
Slow down,
Slow hound.

They want to conquer you,
Abandon you.
I want to burden you,

You wanna climb up the stairs,
I wanna push you back down.
But I let you inside,
So you can push me around.

If I leave before you,
And I walk out alone,
Keep your hands to yourself,

I wish that I had known in
That first minute we met
The unpayable debt
That I owed you

'Cause you'd been abused
By the bone that refused
You and you hired me

i wish that i had known in that first minute we met
the unpayable debt that I owed you
because you'd been abused
by that bone that refused you
and you hired me to make up for that

walking in that room when you had tubes in your arms
those singing morphine alarms out of tune

If I never get back home,
There's no garden overgrown,
No widows in the walls,
No widows left alone,

No shirts to hang or fold,
No kid out in the cold,
No widows on the walls,

Prove to me I’m not gonna die alone.
Put your arm around my collarbone,
And open the door.

Don’t lie to me if you’re putting the dog to sleep,
That pet you just couldn’t keep,
And couldn’t afford.

Suddenly every machine stopped at once
And the monitors beeped the last time
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds
And all of them empty but mine

Well, I was lying down with my feet in the air
Completely unable to move
The bed was misshaped, and awkward and tall

I decided on that evening
That I was through with sitting still
I stood up and started moving
With a childlike fascination
For those doors that don't have locks
And the stairways that were blocked
So I dug through the obstruction
Put my fist around the railing

Well I hope, when you can't hear what I am thinking,
You know I can't always talk but I'm always listening
In an absence, where you hate to feel uncared for,
Pretending there's nothing that you're not prepared for.

Who are you lapping when you're running from surrender
If life is a fatal race for all contenders?
To find the peace within the combat where we're standing,

Please, curtains in.
Start us off, you swing first.
Sorry.
I don't know what I said,
but you're crying now again,
and that only makes it worse.
Let me do my job.
Let me do my job.

It's been a long time coming
It's not up for debate
You've been a hollowed-out apple
Though you're standing up straight
It's later than you think
And we're not gonna wait
If you continue to tell us if you continue to tell us

With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks
Let's open up those blinds
But someone has to sweep the floor
Pick up her dirty clothes
That job's not mine
Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks
Let's put away those claws
I don't blame them for their curtains-calls
