lyrics

Sewing thread to attach my head
you choose the color not the machine
and you don't realize the surprise
of falling for the first time on your knees

But my thoughts legs are broken
they're climbing little tiny stairs
in the attic where they're spoken
I flinch if someone cares

But getting out of bed now
you're saying just try something new
I'm holding out my hands now
how do they get to

You can
tell me if I'm breathing
I'd know what I'm feeling
closing both my eyes
waiting on a message
unimportant factors
I'm appointing actors
to play these parts for me
to play these parts for me

I'd give up my form of reason
and the morning dew
to turn it into something
that could last for me or you

but I'm so caught up in the future
that I forgot where I am
falling out of places
still I'm sure that

You can
tell me if I'm breathing
I'd know what I'm feeling
closing both my eyes
waiting on a message
unimportant factors
I'm appointing actors
to play these parts for me
to play these parts for me

Some
time in a film
you'll walk by
give me your hand
I'll let you fly
the camera is on
your face
a picture that
I can't replace

You can
tell me if I'm breathing
I'd know what I'm feeling
closing both my eyes
waiting on a message
unimportant factors
I'm appointing actors
to play these parts for me
please play these parts for me
