Vertebrae
Tiny Moving Parts
I want to jump off of this bridge
Headfirst into the water and swim
But this lake is clearly frozen
Let’s waltz across this kitchen floor
One more time before you go
This our final farewell to say goodnight
So what am I supposed to say?
My trembling vertebrae is bound to snap
Never helped me stand up straight
The clock arms wave (time away)
I tried to breathe in our love
My lungs were never enough
I tried to breathe in our love
Ended up coughing blood
I loved you more than I loved myself
I gave it my all, but you could not tell
I need to find emergency friends
Because I swear to God that I ran out of them
So what am I supposed to say?
My trembling vertebrae is bound to snap
Never helped me stand up straight
The clock arms wave (time away)
I tried to breathe in our love
My lungs were never enough
I tried to breathe in our love
Ended up coughing blood
Coughing blood
Coughing blood
I loved you more than I loved myself
I loved you more than I loved myself
So what am I supposed to say?
My trembling vertebrae is bound to snap
Never helped me stand up straight
The clock arms wave
