[00:00.00]
[00:10.42] You've been living awhile
[00:13.40] In the front of my skull, making orders
[00:18.82]
[00:21.86] You've been writing me rules
[00:24.84] Shrinking maps, and redrawing borders
[00:30.18]
[00:33.03] I've been repeating your speeches
[00:36.93] But the audience just doesn't follow
[00:41.63]
[00:44.78] Because I'm leaving out words, punctuation
[00:50.04] And it sounds pretty hollow
[00:53.12]
[00:56.72] I've been living in bed
[00:59.46] Because now you tell me to sleep
[01:03.86]
[01:08.11] I've been hiding my voice and my face
[01:12.41] And you decide when I eat
[01:15.75]
[01:19.60] In your dreams I'm a criminal
[01:23.05] Horrible, sleeping around
[01:27.30]
[01:30.42] While you're awake I'm impossible
[01:34.87] Constantly letting you down.
[01:39.69]
[02:28.86] Little porcelain figurines
[02:32.19] Glass bullets you shoot at the wall
[02:36.86]
[02:39.79] Threats of castration for crimes you imagine when I miss your call
[02:48.19]
[02:51.79] With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger
[02:58.07] I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer
[03:03.68] I'd happily take all those bullets inside you
[03:09.45] And put them inside of myself
[03:14.36]
[06:14.48] Someone, oh anyone
[06:19.62] Tell me how to stop this
[06:23.88] She's screaming, expiring
[06:28.94] And I'm her only witness
[06:33.81] I'm freezing, infected
[06:38.76] And rigid in that room inside her
[06:44.37] No one's gonna come
[06:47.97] As long as I lay still in bed beside her
[06:56.62]
