The Hotelier - Among the Wildflowers lyrics
[The Hotelier - Among the Wildflowers lyrics]
You were born on a leap year
Fill in the gaps
Spinning gears, keep catching your cracks
Skipping teeth, keep calling you back
Telling stories pretending they’re fact
Let me go, too unstable to wane
Chewing wildflowers to numb the pain
Cut the lines, you’ll be fine
But, if you break when I break
Will you carry me away?
Will you fall on your blade just to
Hear when I’m saying I can’t?
You came out, started bruising
Find it tough to admit when you're losing
Oh, what should I think?
Carefully crafted commercial disaster
They take what you’re after
To get what they want out of you
Cut the lines, you’ll be fine
But, if you break when I break
Will you carry me away?
Will you fall on your blade just to
Hear when I’m saying I can’t?
Dissociate from touch, you’re tilting to pull
The others with you
Posed Shakespearean skull
We see in different pictures
You play the imperial
Stealing the power to waste away
You took the comfort from the
Lights in her soul
Projected map of the body:
It's crass, abject, colonial
You passed disease presented to you at birth
Held underwater
Told to scream your self-worth
It wasn’t good enough
Entrust the secrets to the backs of your arms
Killing the self as to protect it from harm
"What would you do if someone
Hurt your best friend's
Feelings to the point where
They become insane?"
"I would say something that made 'em stop
Or I'd just text him and try to not
Let the bully touch them, or anything, just
Try to block 'em from doing that
Then turn 'em in if
I got punched, it's okay because
It's not okay
Because, I was tryin' to get the other
Other
Person safe, but I want them safe, 'cause I
Was only in the middle of it but
I was tryin' to help somebody not get hurt"
Fill in the gaps
Spinning gears, keep catching your cracks
Skipping teeth, keep calling you back
Telling stories pretending they’re fact
Let me go, too unstable to wane
Chewing wildflowers to numb the pain
Cut the lines, you’ll be fine
But, if you break when I break
Will you carry me away?
Will you fall on your blade just to
Hear when I’m saying I can’t?
You came out, started bruising
Find it tough to admit when you're losing
Oh, what should I think?
Carefully crafted commercial disaster
They take what you’re after
To get what they want out of you
Cut the lines, you’ll be fine
But, if you break when I break
Will you carry me away?
Will you fall on your blade just to
Hear when I’m saying I can’t?
Dissociate from touch, you’re tilting to pull
The others with you
Posed Shakespearean skull
We see in different pictures
You play the imperial
Stealing the power to waste away
You took the comfort from the
