lyrics

Cut me open
Or split my atoms
My skin is getting in the way
My skin is getting in the way
Talk to every man in my mind
Stop them from breaking my lines
It’ll all conflict anyway
It’ll all conflict anyway

Pull my close or pull my close to drown me
Hold me down or have you even found me?
Listen when you’re talking how you’re sounding
Let me low or up again allow me

Oh seasons you’re changing my view
The speed of the sun doesn’t phase you
Stop pleading it’s too late to break through
The speed of the sun doesn’t change you

Stand on a platform
Or bask in a hailstorm
I’ll take the latter any day
I’ll take the latter any day
What could it be there for
If not a call to arms?
I’m on the clock anyway
I’m on the clock anyway

Pull my close or pull my close to drown me
Hold me down or have you even found me?
Listen when you’re talking how you’re sounding
Let me low or up again allow me

Oh seasons you’re changing my view
The speed of the sun doesn’t phase you
Stop pleading it’s too late to break through
The speed of the sun doesn’t change you

The earth is my eyes you can see it from both sides
Black space to fall through straight to
A billion particle problems, a sun of stardom,

O cracking carbon

Pull my close or pull my close to drown me
Hold me down or have you even found me?
Listen when you’re talking how you’re sounding
Let me low or up again allow me

Oh seasons you’re changing my view
The speed of the sun doesn’t phase you
Stop pleading it’s too late to break through
The speed of the sun doesn’t change you
