picking up hands
(专辑: I Didn't Mean To Haunt You - 2024)
[Intro] Touching the
ground Pick up my hands Then I
turn around Covered in skin [Refrain] It's that room, it's the
wall, it's the
poster and all And the
lamp was still swinging its chord It's the
shadowy weight and the
footsteps I
take Made a
mark through the
dust on the
floor And I
saw my mother's eyes For the
second time For the
second time [Chorus] Same carpet I
crawled in Same bucket I
was washed in I
gave all that time to you I
was tryna figure out the
faucets Tall marks on the
wall charts It's the
wrong parts getting longer I
was standing so far away I
don't wanna go another day I— Same basket you carried me I
need you there with me I
need you just down the
hall I
looked up and down Didn't wanna make a
sound I
was so far away I
don't wanna go another day I
trace back the
ground Flip my placemat around And I
call, but the
dog runs away from me now I
been staring at the
ceiling, I've been fucking terrified I
been tryna get these feelings out, inside, I'm paralyzed Same old tree, seen it all peaking through the
blinds I
can't do it, how I
used to climb Gravity been getting used to my weight Same carpet I
crawled in Same bucket I
was washed in I
gave all that time to you I
was tryna figure out the
faucets Tall marks on the
wall charts It's the
wrong parts getting longer I
was standing so far away I
don't wanna go another day The
same basket you carried me I
need you there with me I
need you just down the
hall Follow me closely I
wanna know the
place you've been Lazarus skin Picked up my hands It's that room, it's the
wall, it's the
poster and all And the
lamp was still swinging its chord It's the
shadowy weight and the
footsteps I
take Made a
mark through the
dust on the
floor And I
saw another light Under your door Not like before [collage of previous hooks and lyrics] By this point, I
thought I
would have answers I
thought that was the
universal consolation prize To say "Thanks for playing, this is what the
game was", you know? Unspoken agreements that make perfect sense until you say them out loud
