An Introduction To The Album

Open the curtains
 Singing birds tell me, "Tear the buildings down"
 You felt blessed to receive their pleasant sound
 Things that break make you cringe inside yourself
 There's a child counting stars in their time-out of their day
 In the corners of their frame, they're encased
 In the losing of a grain of themselves
 Pushed against the ebb and flow
 Wave good-bye and watch it go
 ♪
 Well, show me the honest, proper way
 To disarm predatory gaze
 Sucking dry, never satiated
 You've been misused, been rewired
 You're short-circuiting now
 Just remember when you'd call me to come
 Take a deep breath and then jump
 So fragile are bodies
 So concave
 Work in self-destructive ways
 ♪
 You shot from the hip and missed
 Detaching from all of this
 In physical pictures you remain
 Spiral 'round yourself in figure-eight
 I recoil at every new beginning
 ♪
 I searched for a way out
 Don't we all?
 Existentialist recall
 Turn in all, all dichotomies and truths that I gave
 I felt wrong in many ways
 Didn't heal
 It just got harder everyday to be still
 To be passing through the throes
 In a daze
 Feeling heavy
 Feeling cold in my skin
 In my hand-me-downs
 Wearing everything thin
 And the pills that you gave didn't do anything
 I just slept for years on end, fuck!
 ♪
 Well, so if I call should I beg?
 'Cause I'm desperate here
 A couple steps from the edge
 I can't seem to burn bright enough
 I'm cold and I'm left alone
 We're all alone
 Grab a hold
 I know I said to not
 What the fuck do I know?
 I had a chance to construct something beautiful and I choked
 I choked
 I choked
 I choked
