Magnets, Pt. 2

(الألبوم: Of Course You Do - 2014)

You can not protect
That which you cannot control
I lit a candle for you
But somebody blew it out
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me that he's alright
That he's just been hiding out

Somewhere there is no light
Oh yeah, that'd be nice
And if you took it back
I wouldn't feel so uncertain
I wouldn't feel so uncertain

That when your body hit the earth
It opened up and swallowed you
She kept you safe in her heart's center
And always tucked you in at night
And when you woke up nervous
She said, "Baby, you're inside of me
You're safe inside my orange womb
There's no reason to worry"

They bought him magnets
To form into different shapes
Small spheres of metal
Always carefully composed
He's making hexagons
He's making perfect squares
He's making triangles
He's making cylinders

And in the junkyard
Above the robot screams
They give him orders
Like rabbits from his dreams
They're laying eggs now
And hatching fever spells
He eats them slowly
His blood is thinner now

Things slip sometimes
