Mark all the eyelets you should sew
A rag doll to love and to hold
Blessed with baby oil and silent as a ghost
You just do you, you know I don't need to know.
Keep me safe at arm's length
No one's forcing you to stay
You can sink us back to when we gave up then
In the bluish light I'm sick of playing pretend
We can stay in we can count the notches on the wall
I'm a good friend I won't judge you at all
I can be the tank in which you sink or swim
I'm blue love shall I lay it on thick or thin?
Keep me safe at arm's length
No one's forcing you to stay
You can sink us back to when we gave up then
In the bluish light I'm sick of playing pretend
Go to where you'll be on your own
Gilded walls glowing lights
Where you'll be on your own

Beyond the drywall you can see a sunbaked granite cliff
The herds are clawing at the rock their eyes fixed above it
There's a sliver of light in the sky when I am sleeping
I touch it when I'm dreaming
I'm sitting in empty open acres still
Red rocks won't let me go
I wanted you to know
I'm still here
Faceless grins encircle me and speak of past events
When television's boring me I pass the time with them
They're just memories they're just mismatched gloves
Grasping anxiously at the dust and brush extending out
Into the ether
I'm sitting in empty open acres still
Red rocks won't let me go
I wanted you to know
I'm still here
