Mime

(album: balloons don't float here - 2019)

Cage me
Oh, cage me
Tell your family and your friends
"We'll be stuck right here 'til the end"
Thread me
Oh, thread me
I'm the pillow you hold when you're sad
I'm the puppet you hold when you're mad

And now all I've got is broken bones and cheap skin to hold me
Not a blanket nor a hug
Could keep me quite as snug
As the empty lies and broken sighs that you kept chained to me
Please don't take offense to this
I'm just tryna reduce the risk
I'm your mime

Change me
Oh, change me
You can dress me however you like
Pretty colors and pretty designs
Mold me
Oh, so coldly
I just wanna make sure you're okay
That you're satisfied just for the day

And now all I've got is broken bones and cheap skin to hold me
Not a blanket nor a hug
Could keep me quite as snug
As the empty lies and broken sighs that you kept chained to me
Please don't take offense to this
I'm just tryna reduce the risk
I'm your mime

An ode to your demise
It's pretty clear that I'm over you
Oh, I'm over you
Have you got no pride?
Your chandelier is now one light

And now all I've got is broken bones and cheap skin to hold me
Not a blanket nor a hug
Could keep me quite as snug
As the empty lies and broken sighs that you kept chained to me
Please don't take offense to this
I'm just tryna reduce the risk
I'm your mime
