Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
[Verse 2]
I'll take you in pieces, we can take all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
[Chorus]
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
[Verse 3]
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
Air tight, before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe
[Verse 4]
It's a pool of boiling wax, I'm getting in
Let it set, got to seal this in
Can't adjust, can't relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve
[Chorus]
Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there
[Bridge]
Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
Second skin
Second skin
[Outro]
I can't let it out, I still let you in
I can't let it out, I still let you in
