Prop me up and keep just one hand talking    While the other slips underneath    Steals inches from me    All the lights seem to dim on command    Lifting oxygen from eyelids    Calm yourself    Deep breaths quarter rest fill the lungs up in your chest    Careful not to strain the sound waves you'll save    Just might be that of your own voice breaking    Sounding out the words    Slipping over teeth and out through tongue       Slip down, white knuckle the chair   Bring your eyes back to earth or whichever one comes first    Don't leave yourself hanging back    Right now feels as if it never happened    Why is my face all red?    Why are my clothes all wet?    All the attractions all the retraction and I still feel dumb       Blink me in or blink me out    You got such a great disguise you hide yourself on the inside    Clinging to the side of my mind    Where they'll never look to find you    Never look to see just what's inside of me       Slip down white knuckle the chair   Bring your eyes back to earth or whichever one comes first    Don't leave yourself hanging back    Right now feels as if it never happened    Why is my face all red?    Why are my clothes all wet?    All the attractions all the retraction and I still feel dumb       Running out east of here   Quoting none but fools blowing out all my breath seeping in from somewhere    East of here    East of everywhere    The silence is unbearable    We hold our breath and sink our ships
