(Music: Andersen/Slankard – Lyrics: Slankard)
You forgot to open up your eyes
Forgot to hear me when I sighed
And I’m so tired
Did you take the time to learn my language?
Notice I was bandaged?
Uninspired?
My voice is cupped inside your hands, I can’t get out (Can you hear me?)
Almost like I’m stuck to the roof of your mouth (Please let me speak)
I keep building everything you’re pulling down
But I’m in no pain
Though I’m cold to the touch
Near asphyxiation
I’m in no pain
I’m not going to give up
I’m just going to stop finding a way
You are trying to warm me with a shadow
You’re far above me in falsetto
And modulation
You forgot to make me feel I was allowed
To be a finger on your hand when you count
Your equation
I am grown inside your head amongst the weeds (Can you hear me?)
You cut me down anytime I get passed your knees (Please let me speak)
I keep patching up the things you want to bleed
But I’m in no pain
Though I’m cold to the touch
Near asphyxiation
I’m in no pain
I’m not going to give up
I’m just going to stop finding a way
If I get through this morning
I’ll get through (whoa)
If I get through conversations
I’ll get through (whoa)
If I get through these feelings
I won’t have these feelings
Though I’m cold to the touch
Near asphyxiation
I’m in no pain
I’m not going to give up
I’m just going to stop finding a way
I’m in no pain
Though I’m cold when you touch
Near asphyxiation
I’m in no pain…
