Neck, chest, waist to floor
00:22
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
00:27
Make me a deal, a day a piece
00:31
Take it all, just stay a week
00:36
I'll take you in pieces, we can take all apart
00:40
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
00:43
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
00:48
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
00:52
Basic space, open air
00:56
Don't look away when there's nothing there
01:04
I'm setting us in stone
01:12
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
01:17
Air tight, before we break
01:21
Keep it in, keep us safe
01:25
It's a pool of boiling wax, I'm getting in
01:28
Let it set, got to seal this in
01:33
Can't adjust, can't relearn
01:38
Got to keep what I have, preserve
01:41
Basic space, open air
01:45
Don't look away when there's nothing there
01:53
02:01
Hot wax has left me with a shine
02:19
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
02:24
Second skin
02:27
Second skin
02:31
I can't let it out, I still let you in
02:34
I can't let it out, I still let you in
02:43
02:48

Neck, chest, waist to floorEasy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
I'll take you in pieces, we can take all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
Air tight, before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe
It's a pool of boiling wax, I'm getting in
Let it set, got to seal this in
Can't adjust, can't relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind

I can't let it out, I still let you in
I can't let it out, I still let you in
