It starts out like any other day
Until things turn gray
A hand reaches out for just you
The fingers and astrew
Crawling like brambling thorns
Visions of the unborn
Struck by a womb-like fever
You cannot leave her
Thrashed by a pattern in the sound
Blowing your pain around
There's a piece for each one of us
With this truth, you entrust
Cascading out to my eyes
I can taste your insides
In the morning when I awake
I'm served a slice of cake
Go ahead and take apart your head
Yeah, unravel those thoughts like yarn and thread
But something is missing
Yes, things are all red
I think I smell something dead
Mother was often away
Filling up tiny trays
Something to fill her cold veins
While you were in pain
Lonely and missing a tongue
That's when you found us
Finally laying down some beams
Refuge in scaffolding
But still locked in a warm room away
Digital display
Still talking without a tongue
But now springs have sprung
Blaming Summer's hateful heat
Ephemeral retreat
Learning to talk once again
In the play pen
Go ahead and take apart your head
Yeah, unravel those thoughts like yarn and thread
But something is swollen
Yes, something is red
Now we are causing you dread
On the prowl for something to feel
Someone please, take a kneel
Affection you never received
Trying to come clean
Hold your sadness like a puppet
Throwing on a fit
I want to build a time machine
Prevent this happening
Surrogates in the closet
Your pain's a locket
Somewhere out there is the key
Something eventually
It will blossom and come pouring out
Justify every shout
I swear to God there is hope
I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
So brother please hear this song that I sing
Inside of your heart is a bell that rings
If you ever feel like your life is a cheat
Remember we are the roots beneath your feet
