The pressure builds
Indelicate
The pressure builds
Indelicate
When the corner store burned
Ash fled the doors
As shelves overturned
I watched set across the street
As stray dogs rushed out
With burns on their feet
I then turned around and ran
As the rampant horde threatened
To bloody my hands
So as I degrade in waste
My circuits fray and trace along
The far and dark electric scars
Whose sole remarks just beg and fail to restart
When the sky hit the floor
Rubble dispersed
As earth's stomach roared
A voice bellowed from the beneath
With ill, shallow words
To convince us we're steady
I then felt the atmosphere press
A new coat of numbness
On the bones in my neck
So as I decay in space
My figments stray and race
The sun's expanding form engorged in war
Set on course to engulf the world in eternal storm
The pressure builds
Indelicate
Don't you wish
You're missing it?

Okay, I know, I want you to know
I think I'm in love with you, my heart's gonna blow!
I don't know what you did to me, but I know (know know know know know know know)
Here, here, right over here, I want you in my bed breathing in my ear
Saying "oh Abi baby I'm so in love"
Then I'll tell you how the moon and stars from above couldn't arrange themselves to show how much I love you
Okay, I know, I want you to know
I want you here through the sun and the snow
And when it gets really cold we can drink hot chocolate
And when we move indoors we can say "to hell with it"
Kiss me please, oh kiss me please
I need your heart to cure my disease
I need you here I need you now
I need you to rip my little lovestruck heart right out

I recall you once said,
"I don't care much for the dead.
We are all mere bodies,
And I am all that you see."
But these past few years
I felt a force that endears
And it taught me something happens
Underneath all our skins
Do you remember seeing
Me, outside, by the lamp
The air must have been freezing
"Will you please give me a chance?"
I want to be your candlelight
I want to be your lighthouse
I want to own all of my parts
So I can lend them out
I want to be your candlelight
I want to be your lighthouse
I want to own all of my parts
So I can lend them out
I want to be your candlelight
I want to be your lighthouse

I'm not safe here now
And I'm not sure how
i can break out of all of these feelings that
Cut me up and down
It's all different here
Nothing stayed the same
So here i am wandering
Aimlessly for days
Building friends from mannequins
And condensed chromatin
A few more years of being someone's daughter
But now it's thrown away
Another girl like a lamb to the slaughter
All you have will be ripped from you someday
Oh someday you'll be found bleeding from the brain
Oh hun it's too late for all of us this way
I do myself up nice
But i want to hide
Behind the familiar weaving
That makes up my
Favorite hoodie. why
Can't I get my rose tinted thoughts of her
Cut from the inside?
A few more years of being someone's daughter
But now it's thrown away
Another girl like a lamb to the slaughter
All you have will be ripped from you someday
Oh someday you'll be found bleeding from the brain
Oh hun it's too late for all of us this way
Do you see
What i mean
When i say
I'm better off this way
I miss it all
My home and friends
But all of that is gone and
I'll never have that again
A few more years of being someone's daughter
But now it's thrown away
Another girl like a lamb to the slaughter
All you have will be ripped from you someday
Oh someday you'll be found bleeding from the brain
Oh hun it's too late for all of us this way
