lyrics

i wonder if the world was listening if i’d have a thing to say
if the hurt you carry looked at me if i could meet its gaze
i’m just tired of founding houses upon the shells of eggs
when what I love falls through the floor that can’t support its weight

and i’m thanking a god who never answers me
that i’m still alive for what the hell that means

now i’m laying in the basement with a pair of broken legs
coulda sworn that you’d be here by now to carry me away
but friends are fickle fixtures with vows subject to change
so i’ll spend the night looking up at the life that you helped me arrange

and i’m thanking a god who never answers me
that i’m still alive for what the fuck
for what the fuck that means

i’m here
i’m here in the bottom of my house
i hope someone hears me before it burns down
