The Antlers - Two lyrics

In the middle of the night
I was sleeping sitting up
When a doctor came to tell me
"Enough is enough"
He brought me out into the hall
I could have sworn it was haunted
And told me something that I
Didn't know that I wanted:
To hear that there was nothing that
I could do to save you
The choir's gonna sing
And this thing is gonna kill you
Something in my throat made
My next words shake
And something in the wires
Made the light-bulbs break
There was glass inside my feet and
Raining down from the ceiling
It opened up the scars that
Had just finished healing
It tore apart the canyon
Running down your femur
I thought that it was beautiful
It made me a believer
And as it opened I could hear
You howling from your room
But, I hid out in the
Hall until the hurricane blew
When I reappeared and tried to give
You something for the pain
You came to hating me again
And just sang your refrain:

You had a new dream
It was more like a nightmare
You were just a little kid
And they cut your hair
Then they stuck you in machines
You came so close to dying
They should have listened
They thought that you were lying
Your daddy was an asshole and
He fucked you up
Built the gears in your head
Now he greases them up
And no one paid attention when
You just stopped eating
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this
All bears repeating

Tell me when you think that
We became so unhappy
Wearing silver rings with nobody clapping
When we moved here together
We were so disappointed
Sleeping out of tune with
Our dreams disjointed it killed me to see
You getting always rejected
But, I didn't mind the things you threw
The phones I deflected
I didn't mind you blaming
Me for your mistakes
I just held you in the door-frame
Through all of the earthquakes
But, you packed up your clothes
In that bag every night
I would try to grab your ankles
What a pitiful sight but after over a year
I stopped trying to stop you
From stomping out that door
Coming back like you always do

Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can
You say that "No one's gonna listen
No one understands"
And so there's no open doors
There's no way to get through
There's no other witnesses, just us two

There's two people living in one small room
From your two half-families tearing at you
Two ways to tell the story, no one worries
Two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry
Two people talking inside your brain
Two people believing that I'm
The one to blame
Two different voices coming out of your mouth
While I'm too cold to care
And too sick to shout

Had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare
You were just a little kid
And they cut your hair
Then they stuck you in machines
You came so close to dying
They should have listened
They thought that you were lying
Your daddy was an asshole and
He fucked you up
Built the gears in your head
Now he greases them up
And no one paid attention when
You just stopped eating
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this
All bears repeating
