lyrics

sometimes I don’t know how the hell we’ve managed
to hold ourselves together in our ways
as I wrap my unbroken flesh in bandage
you were always pressing for a vein

sometimes I will break before you bend me
some days I can’t tell you what I want
but even when my heart is heaving empty
I still melt like a pill within your palm

sometimes you are held up by your anger
like ribbon through the hollows of your bones
and sometimes I am captain oleander
as I claim all that’s ever poisoned me my own

sometimes you’re here to walk me through the fire
sometimes I'm here to pull you back to earth
but even when we get what we desire
I'm still the one afraid of being burned

sometimes we tear each other, we don’t mind it
we’ll heal the wounds we’ve made the day before
‘cause we both know pain’s an ocean and an island
and dying’s gentler still than being born

so when I feel the fibers in us mending
I pray they come back stronger than the last
‘cause I don’t want to be your muscle memory
knowing that I'm just beyond your grasp
