lyrics

My God, he’s lost inside his room
(I took off my head tonight)
His bed has now become his tomb
(I’m doing the sleep thing right)
His cigarette has been un-quit again
(I’m doing it right by you)
He’s running out of patient friends
(I need more than ones and twos)

He sat on the ground
With his thumb in his mouth
And a watery eye
He was making a noise
That sounded just like a song
About the things that make him cry
It had a beat that kicked in
As if it had been summoned and
In C it would
Do well in forsaken times
And the words were a spell
To send a rain down on hell
So that it’s green when he arrives
And it makes him want to cry

And that makes me want cry

My God, he’s lost inside his mind
He feels like pools un-laddered like
His Northern Star not in the sky
(But see the rings around his eyes?)
Now he can know his heart is light
(Now we can know he’s found tonight)

I thought I was fine
Came off SSRIs
Threw my shoes in the lake
Turns out I’m the same
I bought the new bike
I broke the back brake
I’ve got a long list
Of lessons I’m meant to learn
That I learn over and over again
Back in a ten-year-old body I’m
Part of a cinema audience
Seeing a death for the first time on screen
And it makes me want to cry

It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to cry
