lyrics

You said "I'm doing fine
It's not as bad as it seems"
But your hands are cold, and my eyes are blind
Do you remember how to dream.

You told me about your dad
"He's a shallow man, and he'll have a shallow grave,
I don't remember when he wasn't bad,
He's not the kind that you could save"

You told me about your mom
"I bet she can taste the other girls on his breath,
She's never seen the seas at rest,
She's such a light, he's a mess."

And they wonder why
I cannot eat
And they wonder why
I cannot sleep
I cannot think
I cannot be

You asked me about myself
"I'm a stupid boy with crooked hands and tired eyes,
I'm a fickle thing to keep up on the shelf,
But I'll stay by your side."

You looked at me,
Like I had set fire to your soul
Like I had given you the key
To everything you'd ever need.

I told you I will
Teach you how to eat
I told you I will
Teach you how to sleep
Teach you how to think
Teach you how to be

You looked at me,
Like I had set fire to your soul
Like I had given you the key
To everything you'd ever need.
And set fire to your soul.
