lyrics

I am a quiet worrier
I am a wild creature
I still feel wired from the night before
The night that I met you
I could tell you were troubled
I could tell you like trouble
The real kind of trouble
The kind that makes a gentle man
Question all the worthiness
Of his situation in this life he had
We have both been here before
Is this not the same place?
Just with different pillows
different cases
different window panes
Stained with different colors—
Real bright colors
Got me distracted
My vital organs
You’ve extracted

Oh,
Pericardium!

please protect me
from all that I see

before i become
what i said
i would never
become again

i close my eyes
i take deep breath
i feel in control
i play pretend
