lyrics

my skin won't keep you warm
i don't recognize it anymore
my voice is weak and worn
i don't know it anymore
it's like we're sewn together
tangled in each other
when you touch me with
your hollowness
your quiet lips
your shallow lungs

don't bury my body
i'll wait for the rain
to cover the snow
my ashes, my bones
will sink into the earth
waiting for you
to find me in the dirt

my love won't keep you warm
i don't recognize it anymore
my hope is weak and worn
i don't know it anymore
it's like the best days
are gone
or maybe i just remembered them wrong
or buried them
with my happiness

(reconstruct)
and the sun came up
(days gone by)
and you found me in the dirt
(with these skin-graphed maps)
a lesson in separation
(i'll hide inside)

and you found me in the dirt
and our lesson in separation

it's like when you hear your voice played back to you
and you should know what your voice sounds like
but you don't
and you hear yourself hurting
and you hear them talking quietly
and you hear yourself
how they hear you
it's like when you see yourself in a dream
and you know you shouldn't be able to
but you can
and you see yourself hurting
and you see them staring
but you see yourself
how they see you

quiet lips
shallow heart
we are

(lost)
it's like when you touch me
and you know you shouldn't
but you did, you saw i was hurting
and you heard me, but you'll never know me
how i know you
