Lyrics
There's a nick in my heart
A little loose stitch on the inside of love
Now my socks are wet
And my shoes are heavy from filling up with blood
But in the squelching sound loves resounds
If they could all just see me now
Putting one foot in front of the other
The prodigal son's low-key brother
Blending in with the bridge and tunnel crowd
There's a hole in my head
Like a Chinese finger trap for bad ideas
Sounds romantic but it's not
I'd rather have a fucking gunshot
Sorry to be grim
It's just a bad idea is a terrible thing
A long cascading series of them
Took you from me, little Helen
And on my own I'm a throne without a queen
On the day you were born
Wish I could've held your little body in my arms
And say "I'm glad that you're here"
And I'm sorry I'm less a shelter than a storm
'Cause you deserve the four seasons
And for me to smoke outside even if it's freezing
I love you more than it might seem
Given all the things you'll see
But I can't be there for obvious reasons
Smooth skin, air-tight, it's all I need to get my mind right
Smooth skin, air-tight, it's all I need to get my eyes right
Smooth skin, air-tight, it's all I need to get my life right
