lyrics

I am a lighthouse
On an island so small
A glass on the edge
About to fall
A shoe in the hallway
To trip over soon
My mind is a knot
The hardest cocoon

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air

You are a beacon
The one I can’t reach
I’m below the surface
I cannot breach
I look up and see you
You’re smiling at me
I try to smile back
But I grimace, unfree

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air

My mind says it’s leaving
My body says stay
I’m torn in between
But I know anyway
That I have been here
Many times before
It should feel like home
My lighthouse on the shore

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air
No space for air

I swallow myself whole
I lay myself bare
There’s no inbetween
No space for air
