๐ Lyrics
There's a fire burning, and I'm learning to be
So much more than my tiredness
So much more than that old witch sleep wishes
She kisses my eyelids
And I breathe
You don't have to be brilliant
She says as she scrolls
Through the rolls that the millions
Of hollering hollow folk know how to play, it's okay
They're just shadows searching for light
They can't stay
Sleep now, oh, she says
Tomorrow's jokes have yet to be laughed at or said
Just rest now, she moans
Then the hollow folk come, pour me wine by my bed
And their dead hollers hum at the things that I've said
And say no, no, no, no
'Cause you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head's not yours, it's mine
'Cause you are in the earth of me
Somehow now I'm drinking, and I'm lifting my glass
To that last good man grace
Who has left me, he's left me at last
And I laugh, and I laugh
'Cause laughing right now, it's all, all that I have
"You're better than this"
He says as a hand slaps my face and I stand
And say, "No good man grace"
I can't do this (you can)
I can't do this (you can)
I can't do this (you can)
I can't do this, you don't understand
Oh, sleep now, oh, she pleads
You're not a coward 'cause you cower
You're brave because they broke you
Yet broken still you breathe
So breathe, breathe, just breathe
Then the hollow folk pour me another shard full of glass
And I toast to their talents and I forgive them at last
'Cause I know, oh, I know, I know
You are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head's not yours, it's mine
And I'll take my fucking time
'Cause I know, I know, I know
Let's bury this
I'm all yours, but you're all mine
Let's dance together, you and I
'Cause I'm not trapped with you, you see
You're the one who's trapped with me
'Cause I've been here so many times before
Don't you think I look pretty
Curled up on this bathroom floor?
But where you see weakness, I see wit
Sometimes I fall to pieces
Just to see what bits of me don't fit
'Cause I when I stand oh those folks will run
And tell the tales of what I've become
They'll speak of me, oh in whispered tones
And say my name like it shakes their bones
'Cause we'll dance together so close we're sharing breath
But now I'm leading, doesn't that just scare you to death?
'Cause I'm all yours, you're all mine
Let's dance together, you and I
'Cause I'm not trapped, oh with you, you see
You're the one who's trapped with me
'Cause you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head's not yours, it's mine
And I'll take my fucking time
'Cause I know, I know, I know
So much more than my tiredness
So much more than that old witch sleep wishes
She kisses my eyelids
And I breathe
You don't have to be brilliant
She says as she scrolls
Through the rolls that the millions
Of hollering hollow folk know how to play, it's okay
They're just shadows searching for light
They can't stay
Sleep now, oh, she says
Tomorrow's jokes have yet to be laughed at or said
Just rest now, she moans

And their dead hollers hum at the things that I've said
And say no, no, no, no
'Cause you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head's not yours, it's mine
'Cause you are in the earth of me
Somehow now I'm drinking, and I'm lifting my glass

Who has left me, he's left me at last
And I laugh, and I laugh
'Cause laughing right now, it's all, all that I have

I can't do this (you can)
