Well I suspect you need a rest
go wash your face with cloth
go wash the layers off
Well you’ve been staring at the sun
I thought they taught you better man
and now you’re watching you float away
with nothing to say
have you got nothing to say?
Go slow,
don’t pick apart your bones
because they will start to show
when your skin begins to sag
to the quickening of life
just say your goodbyes
hold them so tight
when the river swallows whole
you’ll be letting them go
oooh
There’s a few room left to paint
to be changed
the be… not the same
and then you can fade away
with nothing to say
you’ll need nothing to say
Go slow,
don’t pick apart your bones
because they will start to show
when your skin begins to sag
to the quickening of life
just say your goodbyes
hold them so tight
when the river swallows whole
you’ll be letting them go
