Lyrics

I never been alone, long enough to know, if I ever was a child / I was tied up like a boat, unbuttoned like a coat / Set free for a while • Well I jumped to jolt my clumsy blood / While my white, green eyes / Cry like a window pane / Can my cold heart change even out of spite? • I slump behind my brain / A haunted stain never fades / I hunt for the kind of pain I can take / And I cry like a window pane / Can my cold heart change over night / So I won’t ever want to touch your heart too much / or hold you too tight • I slump behind my brain / A haunted stain will never fade / I hunt for the kind of pain I can take • I never was alone long enough to know if I ever was a child
