Lyrics

Emerging from the lacrimal
I observe from the ocular
On one end her cornea
Opposite your corny
How could you hurt her? I can't comprehend
Surface tension barely prevents me from expelling at you
And yet your callousness continues
As her chest heaves
More of us compete to the limit of the meniscus
Finally the tear film bursts I break through
Her epiphany my epiphora
Her heart sinks gravity pulling me down her cheek
I mingle with mascara she angrily wipes me
I'm on her sleeve she pushes you out of her life
My job's done I dry up out go my lights
There's an army of us out here
Always ready to be poured out
Only waiting for the all-clear
Check yourself check yourself
We're the ones who call the shots
And we regulate better know your place
in homegirl's life or you go kick rocks
Do your own inner work then come back crawling
Fix your face then talk
What's an angel to do without its wings?
Humming out the tune that the sad man sings
In a valley of open wounds
Too many doors have been closed healing is overdue
Yet still some light shines coming through the keyhole
It takes a lifetime to get to really know
Can I be totally sincere? Can I share you all my fears?
Can I fix this broken mirror and really let these stolen tears
Fall down in front of you
And scream so loud my point of view
My naked soul just keeps undressing
Now can you clothe me with your truth?
I don't owe anything to you
Still I'm crying like the sky in November in my city
I don't want your so-called pity
Want you see me when I'm crazy
And not to tell me it's okay
But understand that this world made me
Just like you
I guess that it was too good for you
Say you want us but you're giving me scraps
Give me just enough
Then you'll take it right back
There ain't no trust so I know it won't last
I guess I made it too good for you
I'm callin your bluff then you want to get mad
I blow this whole thing up and take my heart back
Falling out of love so get ready for the crash
I guess I'll see you on the way down
Because there's nothing left to save now
Lost too much in this game now
Watch it all go up in flames watch it go up in flames
I guess I'll see you on the way down
Because there's nothing left to save now
Lost too much in this game now
Watch it all go up in flames watch it go up in flames
