lyrics

can we talk here? i think i need your ear
but if we’re talking low i don’t wanna whisper you know
more like peel off my shirt and show you where it hurts
but if we’re talking down i got a deep sea trench i found
staring into outerspace
like some kinda broken doll
with the pull strings cut i just mutter
“what happened to us?”
what’s happening to us?

oh i think I know
bah-bah

please help me
if you can move me i’m long overdue
wake me shake me
pull my body from this tomb oh

walkin’ down the street with my head slung low
there’s advantage to this stooped vantage you can sweep
up the trash the shit sometimes a treasure trove
picking up a broken doll pull the string watch him sing
a song called “I’m the moon in the teardrop sky”
i’m the wayward son in a mother's eye
i don’t wanna disappear tonight no

but oh here i go
bah-bah

please don't leave me
if you can move me I need to feel you
wake me please shake me
pull my body from this watery womb oh

i’m betta
i’m better since you found me
betta
so much betta
thank you
