I told you I had wings
So you stuck me like a bug
And you showed me all the things
We could sweep under the rug
So I’ll crunch on aspirin
Spread eagle on your wall
You say if I could let you in
Then I wouldn’t be so small
But would heaven let me in
With the dead fawns in the snow
After all I did for you
Do I really want to know
Wall
To wall
To wall
To wall
The three ravens at the gate
Remind me that you’re there
They know I have to wait
From behind your watchful stare
The sugar on your tongue
Turned quickly into glue
That I swallow with my lung
When I say I love you too
Because when you show me light
My wings still try to fly
But I know that you’re right
When you hide me from the sky
Wall
To wall
To wall
To wall x2
I fly

There’s a hurricane brewing in my elbow and it’s growing
Stack the shelves full of canned peaches and methadone
The winds are static but I wish that they would flow
From the inner corner of my arm straight to the bone
I can see it in my eyes when it starts
The strange desire to have track marks that lead to my heart
Nodding off seems to be the way
To calm the storm- or, wait, to make it stay.
But how can I ask you to watch me as I die
How can my soul just leave me behind
But what can I do to change the weather now?
If you can stop a hurricane, don’t show me how.
I’m terrified of seeing my true self in the eye
But is that now, or will that be me when I’m high?
I’m not afraid to cause myself pain
But I know that your smile would collapse with my vein
Is it worth it- chasing the dragon if I lose,
And if my morals are all I can sell if I use?
I could earn wings at the price of the sky
No more warm weather, the only rain is when you cry.
So how can I ask you to watch me as I die
How can my soul just leave me behind
But what can I do to change the weather now?
I’m ready to hear it, just please show me how
There’s a hurricane brewing in my elbow and it’s growing

Sweetie
Don’t you feel me
Don’t you see me
Don’t you know me
Don’t you want me
Don’t you hear me
Don’t you you the smell the roses
Down the street?
Sweetie
Don’t you know them
Don’t you fear them
Don’t you know
What they’re doing
What they’re sensing in me
What they’re sensing in you
What they’re doing to us?
Sweetie
Won’t you fight them
Won’t you name them
For what they’ve done
For that they’re doing
For what they’re saying?
Now that you see them
Won’t you hear them
Won’t you name them
Won’t you see?

Im meant ro be working right now
But how can I with a guitar in my hands
You’re meant to love me for who I am
But how can you if you won’t take a stand
Hard lines never helped me out
So maybe there isn’t a meant to be
Governance of the brain over the rule of the heart
Only has a place in a world where I have no part
The sky opens when it gets tight
So you’ll only act when it’s in sight
You close when the sky gets low
But you still won’t open tomorrow
No gods to tell you what is just
There’s only those that you’ll leave behind
Governance of the brain over the rule of the heart
Only has a place in a world where I have no part
