Graceless

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Little white moths in the shape of my thoughts If I move too fast I will lose them all I got holes in the shapes of the places I dream of Drilled in my spine so I always feel them When did this happen, why this body? Haven't thought about it since it happened to me Holes in my spine like the curves of your name But I can't read the letters I just know the shape of my Thoughts their wings are a nervous tick If I move too fast then they leave too quick And I feel like something given too much I try to process everything but my brain stops and [Chorus] Will I ever feel again Like I know where I begin? Self transparent from the change Again [Verse 2] I've got something burned in the back of my mind It's a name or a word or a couplet of rhyme That tells me why I'm here and what I'm doing But I can't read it it's always moving The sky remembers what I've been But if I stare it feels like a dream Another mind, another life and body Memories of dreams of flying, falling And when they come into my mind The old world burns in the glass of my eye I get a surge of fields and trees and omens A glimpse of home but I'm still broken [Chorus] Will I ever feel again Like I know where I begin? Self transparent from the pain Again [Bridge] I can't stand you seeing me like this This body feels like someone else's skin Turn away and curl up in my mind Dreaming of the days when I could fly Graceless in this changing skin The sky remembers what I've been A different life so far away That this body makes more distant every day [Outro] My thoughts stay longer every day The old discomfort falls away It hurts so much but you're still with me I was so sure the knife would kill me Vitriolic words echo in my mind The disgust on their face burned into my eyes But you were there, I don't know why you do this If only you could feel it
