lyrics

each morning she rises
with a clamp on her jaw
she can't bite, she can't swallow, can't sing
can't open at all

afraid that she'll sleep
and never wake up
when the building's on fire, will you burn
or will you jump?

she sits with her hands
tied behind her back
her hair too near the candle while both
my eyes turn black

my bruise on her arm
her name on my neck
will you fuck, will you fight, try to cry?
forgive yourself

tell me what
do you want to do?
'cause you know
no matter how low
I'll go down with you

you can put on your gloves
and open my legs
sterilizing your tools, taking notes
then leave me for dead

her grandfather's pride, her mechanical lust
two stones that grind her poor bones into dust
she's good, I swear that she's good -
I don't know at all

there's a tear in the page
a dry pen in my bed
everything I can think of to say
we've already said

accept give her the air
and give her the trees
give her something so pure that it hurts
then give her to me

give her the air
and give her the trees
give her something so pure that it hurts
then give her to me

give her something so pure that it hurts
then give her to me
